Chicken Malaidar (Creamy Green chicken)

Hi friends!! I have another chicken dish for you all & a very healthy one too !!

It's a fresh and yummy chicken recipe with an umami essence. I haven't used a single drop of oil in it ! I have made it in my panasonic rice cooker.

Ingredients:

• Chicken breast pieces-1 kg
• Curd-3/4th cup
• Lemon -1
• Green chillies- 7-8
• Ginger- 3-4 cm
• Coriander leaves-1/2 cup
• Mint leaves-1/2 cup
• Cloves- 8
• Cardamom - 6
• Cinnamon- 2-3pieces
• Pepper- 1 tsp
• Turmeric powder- 1/2 tsp
• Cashew nuts (powdered)- 3 tbsp
• Fresh cream (malai) -5-6 tbsp
• Salt -according to your taste.

Method:

• Crush the cloves, cinnamon, cardamom and pepper together & keep it aside. 
• Then grind the green chillies, ginger, coriander and mint leaves together with some water (not much).
• Mix these two pastes with curd, lime, turmeric powder and salt.
• Pour the above mixture over the chicken pieces and marinate for 6-7 hours.

                           

• After the stipulated time place the marinated chicken in the cooking pot of the Rice cooker (do not use the rice plate at the bottom).
• Switch it over to cooking mode and let it get cooked for about 25- 30 mins.
• Add powdered cashew nuts (optional) and cream to the chicken. Switch off the cooker after 5 minutes.
• While serving top it with some fresh cream chunks :)
