After reading a article about the broiler chicken effects from FB, now i try to use mostly country chicken only. Though they have less flesh, our family started liking its taste now a days. So here is the recipe, which I prepared yesterday.

Ingredients
To marinate

Country Chicken – 1/2 kg
Chilli powder – 3 to 4 tsp
Coriander powder – 1 tsp
Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
Salt – 1 tsp

To grind

Grated coconut – 4 tsp
Poppy seeds – 2 tsp
Fennel seeds – 1 tsp

For gravy

Oil – 3 tsp
Cloves – few
Cinnamon stick – 1 inch
Fennel/Saunf – 1/2 tsp
Star Anise – 1
Ginger garlic paste
Curry leaves – few
Dry red cillies – 2
Onion – 1 big
Tomato – 1
Salt – as needed
Coriander leaves for garnishing

Method

Wash the country chicken and mix with chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, salt and leave it aside for 1 hr.

In a mixer grinder, add the grated coconut, poppy seeds and 1 tsp fennel seeds and little water.

Grind to a smooth paste

Set it aside

In a pan, add oil and when hot, add fennel seeds, star anise, cinnamon stick, bay leaf and cloves

Add onions and saute for a minute adding salt.

Add dry red chillies, currry leaves and fry for a min and ginger garlic paste.

Again saute the onions till it becomes soft.

Add tomato and saute again.

Add the marinated chicken pieces.

Country chicken, takes more time to cook and so, add more water and let it cook till the chicken becomes tender.

Now addin the coconut paste and add some more water and allow to cook for another 5 min.

Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with rice.

Note:

I have added more chilli powder while marinating the chicken itself. if want to reduce, you can reduce the chilli powder while marinating and add it later as per your taste.
