Lasooni Murgh (Garlic Chicken)

'Lasooni Murgh' is a spicy chicken recipe with an overpowering flavor of garlic. Crispy chicken, dipped in a rich gravy, is an absolute delight for all the spicy food lovers! As the name itself suggests, garlic has a major role to play in this recipe. The aroma and the flavor of this recipe are beyond explanation. Once you try this, it would definitely become one of your favorite recipes!


Ingredients:

  1. Chicken - 1/2 kg.
  2. Ginger - 4 inch long ginger piece
  3. Garlic - 30 big garlic cloves 
  4. Green chili - 10 hot green chilies
  5. Curd - 4 tablespoons
  6. Red chili powder - 1 teaspoon
  7. Turmeric Powder - 1 teaspoon
  8. Peppercorns - 10
  9. Garam masala - 1 tablespoon
  10. Refined oil - 4 tablespoons
  11. Salt to taste 


Okay, let's start!


  • Wash the chicken
  • Grind ginger-garlic-green chilies and make a thick paste
  • Add salt, little bit of red chili powder and a teaspoon of ginger-garlic-green chili paste to the chicken and set aside for 5 minutes
  • Heat oil and fry chicken pieces till golden brown
  • Keep the fried chicken pieces aside and in the remaining oil add peppercorns
  • When the peppercorns start spluttering, add remaining ginger-garlic-green chili paste to the oil and saute for 5 minutes
  • Now add the other spices to it and cook for 10 minutes, stir the masala in every 2 minutes and don't leave it unattended
  • Add curd to it and cook for 2 more minutes
  • At this stage, add the fried chicken pieces to the masala and cook for 5 minutes without covering it
  • Add 1/2 cup of water to it and cover the chicken with a lid
  • Cook for 2 or 3 minutes so that the chicken pieces and the masala come together


The flavorsome 'Lasooni Chicken' is ready to serve! This recipe goes well with steam rice or parathas! Serve it hot and let yourself indulge in the aroma & flavor of this delicious chicken curry.

Last but not the least, I prefer to add little water to the gravy because this recipe tastes amazing that way.

Good luck and enjoy the recipe!
