Creamy chicken is a dish I had in a dhaba over the weekend. We liked it so much that I tried to emulate the taste at home. I am almost there with the taste! My experiment with the ingredients have workd and the creamy chicken at home has almost been like the creamy chicken at the dhaba! Its very easy to cook. Just follow the steps and you will be ready with the tasty creamy chicken in about half an hour.

Preparation time:10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients required:

Chicken (boneless) - 200 gms
Hung curd - 1 table spoon (Take the curd in a cloth and drain the water out to prepare ‘hung curd’
Garlic paste - 1/2 teaspoon
White oil - 3 table spoon
Onion - 1 small - finely chopped
Fresh cream - 3 table spoon
Muskmelon seeds paste (magazdana paste) - 2 table spoon
Garam masala - 1/2 tea spoon
Black pepper powder - 1 tea spoon
Water - 1 cup
Salt - 1/2 tea spoon (taste to salt)
Green chilli - 1 piece
Butter - 1 table spoon

How to cook creamy chicken:

Make a paste of the muskmelon seeds and the green chili
Mix garlic paste in the hung curd and marinade the chicken in it for 10-15 minutes (If you are in a hurry, you may not marinade as well)
Heat the white oil
Add the finely chopped onion and fry it lightly till the colour changes
Add the garam masala and black pepper to the onion and stir fry till oil separates
Now add the marinade chicken and fry for a minute or two
Add a cup of water, add salt and cover the chicken to boil for 5 minutes
Open the cover and add the muskmelon paste and mix well. Let it boil for a minute.
Add the fresh cream and butter.
Now sprinkle with black pepper which actually does the garnishing for the dish as well.

Creamy chicken is best served with Indian bread (roti) or parantha. If you can make roomali roti, then it is a great combination with creamy chicken.
