Marinade the chicken pieces for around 2 hours with 1 ½ tbsp
ginger-garlic paste, 1 tbsp onion paste, 50 gms of yogurt and 1 tbsp of rose
water.
Heat 4 tbsp ghee/ white vegetable oil in a wok. Then add the
cardamoms, cinnamon sticks, cloves, dry red chilies and bay leaves in it.
Now add the remaining onion paste and sauté it properly on
low heat for around 4-5 minutes.
When the mixture starts to get a light brown color add the
chopped green chilies and the remaining ginger, garlic paste in it and cook it until
the mixtures loses its raw flavor.
After it’s done now add the cashew and poppy seed paste onto
it followed by rest of the yogurt [Beat the yogurt in a bowl along with some water
and the sugar so that it gets a nice creamy texture]
Now mix the contents properly and sauté it for a minute or
two.
After that add the marinated chicken, in it and mix it
uniformly. And cover the wok with a lid and leave the chicken to simmer for
around 15 minutes on low heat.
After 15minutes remove the lid, you’ll find the chicken has oozed
out its water and nice creamy gravy has formed with oil floating over it.
If required you can add extra water in it.
When chicken is done and you have your desired consistency
of gravy, add a pinch of garam masala and 6-7 drops of kewra water to the dish.
Mix well. Lower the flame and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Rezala is ready to serve. J
