GARLIC CHICKEN
Ingredients:
1. 1 full cut chicken (I used boneless skinless breasts and a few drumsticks. You can use any part)
2. 15-17 cloves of garlic
3. 2-3 green chilli (you can even use pepper)
4. 1 tsp grated ginger
5. 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced red onion
6. 1/4 cup yogurt
7. 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
8. 1/2 tsp turmeric (optional just for color)
9. 2 whole cardamom (optional)
10. 3 tbsp olive oil or any vegetable oil
11. Salt to taste.

8. 1/2 tsp turmeric (optional just for color)
9. 2 whole cardamom (optional)
10. 3 tbsp olive oil or any vegetable oil
11. Salt to taste.
Preparation
Make a paste of ginger, chilli and about 10-12 cloves of garlic. Mix it with yogurt and lemon juice. Add as pinch of salt and marinate the chicken with it.
Let the chicken marinate for a couple hours.
After the chicken is marinated use a thick bottom skillet or pan for cooking.
Smash 5-6 cloves of garlic. If you are using cardamom along with garlic, smash cardamom also . Pour olive oil or any veg oil and turn the heat to medium. Slow heating of the pan infuses the oil beautifully with the flavor of garlic and cloves which will be so distinct in your chicken when you taste them.
When the oil is hot enough, add onion. Let it saute until golden.
Now add the marinated chicken. If you are using turmeric, add that too.
Add salt when the chicken is half cooked.
Let it cook on medium low heat stirring occasionally. Slow cooking brings out all the flavors (if you think your chicken is taking longer, cover it and cook by stirring occasionally.)
The chicken doesn’t have any gravy and should be done in 20-30 minutes.
Serve with rice or your choice of bread or naan.
