Cooking Method
- You may choose to cover and cook the masala or pressure cook.
- Cooking covered in a regular pan takes time. Pressure cooking saves time and also helps to cook the bone-in chicken thoroughly in a short time.
- If you choose to the regular pot or pan method, then add water to the chicken. Cover and cook for 20 – 30 minutes over low medium flame.
- If you choose to pressure cook, then put the lid on, seal the vent with the weight and pressure cook up to 2 whistles over medium high flame.
- When done, the consistency of the gravy will be on a thin side. Which is perfect as such if you plan to pair it as a side for idli, dosa, chapati.
- If pairing as a side for rice you may want to simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until the gravy thickens to a semi thick masala.
- When done, garnish with curry & coriander leaves.
- Switch and its ready to be served!
