After reading a article about the broiler chicken effects from FB, now i try to use mostly country chicken only. Though they have less flesh, our family started liking its taste now a days. So here is the recipe, which I prepared yesterday.


Ingredients
To marinate

  • Country Chicken – 1/2 kg
  • Chilli powder – 3 to 4 tsp
  • Coriander powder – 1 tsp
  • Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
  • Salt – 1 tsp
To grind

  • Grated coconut – 4 tsp
  • Poppy seeds – 2 tsp
  • Fennel seeds – 1 tsp
For gravy

  • Oil – 3 tsp
  • Cloves – few
  • Cinnamon stick – 1 inch
  • Fennel/Saunf – 1/2 tsp
  • Star Anise – 1
  • Ginger garlic paste
  • Curry leaves – few
  • Dry red cillies – 2 
  • Onion – 1 big
  • Tomato – 1 
  • Salt – as needed
  • Coriander leaves for garnishing

Method
  • Wash the country chicken and mix with chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, salt and leave it aside for 1 hr.
  • In a mixer grinder, add the grated coconut, poppy seeds and 1 tsp fennel seeds and little water.
  • Grind to a smooth paste
  • Set it aside
  • In a pan, add oil and when hot, add fennel seeds, star anise, cinnamon stick, bay leaf and cloves
  • Add onions and saute for a minute adding salt.
  • Add dry red chillies, currry leaves and fry for a min and ginger garlic paste.
  • Again saute the onions till it becomes soft.
  • Add tomato and saute again.

  • Add the marinated chicken pieces.
  •  Country chicken, takes more time to cook and so, add more water and let it cook till the chicken becomes tender.
  • Now addin the coconut paste and add some more water and allow to cook for another 5 min.

  • Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with rice.

Note:
I have added more chilli powder while marinating the chicken itself. if want to reduce, you can reduce the chilli powder while marinating and add it later as per your taste.

    When ever I went to my native town we always had country chicken. Yes they have less meat but are very flavour full.. curry looks very inviting!
