- 1 lb boneless chicken cut into 2 inch chunks, or 1.5 lb bone in chicken
- 1 onion diced (¾ cup)
- 1 tsp garlic paste (heaped)
- 1 tsp ginger paste (heaped)
- 1-2 tomatoes (diced) 1 for a milder tomato flavour (my preference) or 2 for more robust masala
- 1 + ½ tsp salt (½ to be added with the daal)
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- ½ tsp cayenne / chili powder
- ½ tsp chili flakes
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 2 tbsp masoor ki daal
- 1 cup chanay ki daal
- 1 tbsp kasuri methi
- 1 tsp garam masala (powder)
- 2 tsp chaat masala (optional)
- squeeze of lemon juice
- 2-3 green chilies
Baghaar/ Tadka
- ½ onion sliced thinly
- 3-4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 3-4 whole dried red chilies
- ¾ tsp cumin seeds
- 1 sprig curry leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Put the IP on Saute mode on medium, pour in about ¼ cup of oil, then saute onions till the edges turn golden
- Add the ginger + garlic and saute for a minute
- Now add the tomatoes and all the spices (but only 1 tsp of salt) along with a splash of water, mix well and saute until the oil rises above the masala (bhunn)
- Then add the chicken pieces, mix well and saute for 3-4 minutes until the color changes and the chicken absorbs some of that great masala
- Add in the daals, ½ tsp salt, a green chili or two if you want it spicy and 3 cups water and set it to manual for 10 minutes,
- Let it be for ten minutes then quick release.
- Add kasuri methi, garam masala, chaat masala if using, a squeeze of lemon juice and check for seasoning. Adjust to taste.
- Heat oil in a small frying pan, about ¼ cup and once it's shimmering add all the baghaar ingredients and keep on medium flame till the onions are a beautiful golden brown
- Pour over your daal gosht and enjoy with some hot fluffy rice!
