Coriander Chicken Curry

Print Pin

Servings: 2 -3

Author: Maria Jose

Ingredients

  • 350 gms Chicken (cut into medium pieces)
  • 2 medium Onion (finely sliced)

To Grind (set 1)

  • 2 - 2.5 tsp Ginger & garlic (each)
  • 2-3 Green chilly
  • 1/4 - 1/2 tsp Whole black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 2 tsp Coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp Garam Masala
  • 1/4 tsp Fennel powder

To grind (set 2)

  • 1 medium Tomato
  • 1/4 cup Coriander leaves (packed)
  • Oil (refer notes)
  • Salt

Instructions

  • Grind the ingredients listed under 'to grind' in separate batches & keep aside. Heat oil in a pan and add the finely sliced onions. Cook till it becomes golden brown color. Add the set 1 ground ingredients. Cook for 2-3 minutes till the raw smell goes. Add set 2 (tomato & coriander paste) ground ingredients. Mix well. Cook for a few minutes (3-4 mins) till the oil starts appearing. Add salt & cleaned chicken pieces. Mix well & make sure that chicken pieces are coated well with the masala. Add 1/2 cup water, give it a stir. Cover & cook till the chicken is done.

  • Dont forget to check out the water level & gravy consistency of the curry, in between. Add more water if required. Adjust the consistency of the gravy as per your taste. This curry has a medium thick gravy.

Notes

I've made this both coconut oil & sun flower oil. Though it was good both the times, I'm slightly leaning towards coconut oil :) The gravy tends to thicken as the curry rests, so adjust the gravy accordingly, but dont make it watery. You can adjust the measurements of spices to suit your taste.

  7. will try this today maria… had been longing for a diff chicken recipe.

  8. Hi Resh,

    Welcome to MariasMenu! I’m so glad that you started trying out recipes from here and liked them too :)

    hhmm I dont have a recipe as such for garam masala. I can just give you an idea about what I do..

    I add cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, fennel seeds, pepper corns and star anise in my garam masala. I dont have any measurements for qty :( I dry roast the whole spices for 2-3 mins on low flame. Let it cool and grind it.
    May be next time, I”ll try to note down the measurements and share it, ok?

    Cheers
    Maria

  16. Hi Maria,
    I have tried many ways of making coriander chicken,(my fav) but was never fully satisfied with the taste. Today i tried your recipe of coriander chicken curry and wow it came out so well. prefect blend of spices. thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe with us. everyone at home loved it. and i was just saying thank Maria:-)

    • Hi Asha,

      I’m really happy that this recipe came out well for you & it was liked by your family. Thank you so much! Btw, you can take credit since you are the one who cooked it :)

      Cheers
      Maria

  17. Hey Maria,
    Have tried this recipe twice already and it is “yum”. So good, and perfect curry when you dont want anything creamy or with coconut milk. Keep up the good job. I started my journey in baking thanks to your blog…Been inspired to bake more and I did bake a banana cake, the recipe of which I had googled. Will send you the recipe, cos I had seen in one of your comments that you had never baked a banana cake. Now, when I say it is easy and a one dish cake, you will believe me…..me, being the “new baker”. Meanwhile, take care…

    • Hi Preethi,

      Thanks a lot for your wonderful comment dear :) I’m really happy that you liked the recipe. It’s so sweet of you to say that you will send me the banana cake recipe. But dear, I haven’t baked a banana cake yet, because I dont like banana :(

      Anyways, I’m excited to hear that this little space inspired you to start baking :)

      You too take care…. happy baking!

      Cheers
      Maria

  18. hi maria,
    tried dis one nd it was yum…was really gud for a change from other gravies..
    Thanks a lot for sharing…it was a little spicy but my daughter drank lots of water but ate it..cud u tell if their is anything we can do ven it becomes spicier…
    Keep Posting..Bye n Tc.

    • Hi Rashmi,

      Thank you for trying this recipe & also for the comment :) For reducing the spiciness,you can add more onions. Saute onions in a separate pan till it becomes golden brown & then add the curry to the onions & cook for a while. It should bring down the heat.

      Hope this helps…

      Cheers
      Maria

  19. hai maria

  29. Today i am in ur state……bored of all my curries and so experimenting a new curry, laptop open with many pages to refer and 2 cook books with the same recipe, but different ingredients and my diary as well…….writing down as i go along……and my kitchen counter, u have to see….its like a bomb struck area!…

    BTW, ur curry looks delish!

  30. Hai Mariechi…m going to try this today with chappathi…will definitly get back to you with the feedback..till then…have a great time..

    Keep Smiling..
    Nasreen.

  31. Tried this one..i didnt knw what to expect, so was very careful abt the amounts :) and my conclusion is u named it right! coriander flavour all along.. i liked it with rice..but i think it will b too good with a nan!

    • Hi Ammu,

      Thanks dear for trying the curry :) Sony was also saying it’s great with roti/nan n stuff like that.

      Cheers
      Maria

  32. Curry looks delicious.. Shall try out once..

  33. Same here but then i think i am always looking to books and my hubby tells me ar eyou not fed up reading cookingbooks :-)
    Delcious looking chicken curry.

  34. njanum sherikkum maduthu..making the usual chicken curry…have bookmarked this one…

    • Thanks C :) , I hope you will like it…

      Cheers
      Maria

  36. Hey Maria,will try it out but is the name a misnomer cos we add coriander as a powder in many dishes or is it because u sprinkle as a deco in the end? Will let u know how it went. Ta

    • Hi Shibu,

      I named it coriander chicken curry because, as I’ve said in the write up, I used more qty of coriander leaves compared to the usual recipes I make and you can feel the coriander flavor well.

      Btw, did you get a chance to try this?

      Cheers
      Maria

      • @Maria, No darling I didnt get a chance.Im getting fat so my wife buys only one organic chicken.So I made methi chicken and chicken tikka masala with one chicken.Nah, I just used sanjeev kapoors masalas and add the chicken and in 10 mins its done.Will keep u posted when I make ur cor chick. Tc

      • @Maria, Hey like I said I did try out and my wife has given it the thumbs up.Seems it wasnt too spicy at the end.Many times during the making I feel its a tad spicy but turns out ok at the end. Ta for the recipe,a lot of coriander goes into it.

  37. I have never tried coriander chicken before..Superb recipe, Maria..The picture is really tempting..

  38. Wow..I love coriander in anything, chicken curry looks scrumptious….
