Hadi Wala Chicken


When I saw Vicky's invite to post for the potluck chicken event, I thought of posting this usual chicken I make at home. While I have never made it for a potluck, I think it will be a big hit in a potluck too. Its so easy to make and can be very easily made in big batches as needed for potluck events. My daughter and son both love this 'Hadi wala chicken' - as they call it... Infact my son who doesn't love chicken looks forward to this dish too...

I usually serve this chicken with rice and some greens like slightly sauted broccoli or boiled beans.


Ingredients :

2 Onions chopped
1 small tomato chopped
1/2 tea spoon Chili powder
1/2 tea spoon Turmeric powder
1 tea spoon Garam Masala
2 cloves
1 inch of Cinnamon
3-4 table spoon of oil
Salt to taste

To marinate

4-5 Chicken legs cleaned (or chicken pieces of about 1 pound)
1 table spoon Ginger-Garlic paste
2 table spoon Curd
2-3 bay leaves
1/2 tea spoon Chili powder
1 tea spoon Coriander powder
1/2 tea spoon Turmeric powder
1/2 tea spoon Garam Masala
1 tea spoon Mustard Oil
Salt to taste


How to

Marinate the chicken with all the ingredients listed in to marinate.
Keep it for minimum 2-3 hours, overnight preferred.

In a big pan, add oil (mustard oil preferred). Once it is hot, add whole cloves and Cinnamon.
Then add the onions and saute until it starts turning golden brown.
Add the chili powder, turmeric powder and then add the chicken.
Cook in low fire, until the water from the chicken completely dries up.
After that add the chopped tomato and garam masala.
Add salt if needed.

Serve hot with rice.

  14. u think i could try grilling this recipe instead on gas?

  15. Rush - I am sure it will taste great grilled. But then it should be marinated overnight. I have a friend who adds cooking wine to the same marinate and then grills it...It tastes yummy!
