CHICKEN CHAAP RECIPE | Restaurant style Royal Chicken Chaap

Legendary Indian Film making Maestro Satyajit Ray was very fond of this dish! Nawab of Awadh was deported to Kolkata by British. He brought many discerning cuisines with him that made Kolkata a hub for Royal dishes! Till today Kolkata boasts of many famous, World class Shahi dishes.
Today I present one of the finest Mughlai Dishes, CHICKEN CHAAP! Follow the recipe and give yourself a Royal treat! 
See Video below

Chicken Chaap Ingredients

Ingredients:
800 gm Chicken( cut into large pieces)

1 tbsp Roasted Gram Flour (Satoo)
1 tsp Coriander Powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp dry red chili powder
1 tsp Shahi Garam Masala Powder
1 tbsp Cashew nut paste
1 tbsp Poppy seed paste
1 tbsp Fennel(mouri) paste
1 tbsp garlic paste
150 gm Yogurt
2 big onion (chopped)
1 big Tomato (Puree)

1 tbsp kewra water
1/2 gm saffron

1/2 tsp Ginger paste

For Shahi Garam Masala Powder - 
Green Cardamom
cloves
cinnamon
Shahi Jeera 
White Pepper 
Mace
Kebab Chini 
Nutmeg 

Dry roast all these spices a little and blend to make Shahi Garam Masala powder.
For seasoning - 
2 whole cardamom 
4-5 whole cloves
3-4 whole cinnamon sticks
2-3 Bay leaves

Oil: 200 ml
Ghee: 1 tbsp
Salt and sugar to taste
Marinated Raw Chicken

Shahi Garam Masala Ingredients
Method - 
Marinate the chicken pieces. Since the chicken pieces are large, I made gash so that spices get well marinated.

Now add garlic paste, ginger paste, red chili powder and whisked yogurt, squeeze half lemon juice then mix well. Finally add little salt, mix and keep marinated the chicken for 3-4 hrs.

Put 2 tbsp Ghee (clarified butter) on hot pan. After ghee melts, add cinnamon, cardamom, clove and bay leaf for seasoning. Stir a little, then add finely chopped onion.
Now add one by one, coriander powder, cumin powder,  cashew nut paste,  tomato puree. Mix thoroughly. After cooking 2/3 minutes, add poppy seeds paste and roasted gram flour (satoo).

Many people use onion paste, but when this gravy is little coarse, then it tastes more beautiful, so I always prefer chopped onion in CHICKEN CHAAP.
Add Kewra water soaked saffron.Mix well with curry.

Now add marinated chicken pieces. 
Since the chicken is marinated with salt, while add salt in this dish, be careful about its quantity.
Add 1 tbsp fennel seed paste, 1 tsp Shahi Garam Masala Powder.
Now mix all these spices with chicken. Keep stirring  and cook in very low flame for about 12-15 min.

When fat oozes out of the gravy and chicken gets tender Then you know your Chicken Chaap is ready! 
Serve hot with Biryani, Naan, rotis/Chappatis or Rice.

একটা আস্ত চিকেন চমৎকার মশলাদার গ্রেভিতে রান্না করে তারপর ধীরে ধীরে সেই চিকেনের টুকরো মুখে দিলেই মিলিয়ে যাবে জিভের মধ্যে - এই রান্নাটা (কঠিন, কিন্তু অসাধ্য নয়) খাওয়ার পর যে শাহী মেজাজ পাবেন তার মধ্যেই পাবেন এই রেসিপির সার্থকতা!

আসুন দেখে নিই কীভাবে বানাবেন -

(For English Text click here)



আস্ত চিকেন ধুয়ে পরিস্কার করে নিন।
Marination এর জন্য যে মশলাগুলো দেওয়া আছে, সেগুলো মাখিয়ে ঘণ্টা দুয়েক ম্যারিনেট করে রাখুন।
পোস্ত, আমন্ড, কাজু একসাথে একটু গরম তাওয়ায় সেঁকে নিন। তারপর একটু জল মিশিয়ে ব্লেন্ড করে একটা পেস্ট বানিয়ে রাখুন!

এবার Roast and Grind অংশে যে মশলাগুলো দেওয়া আছে সেগুলো ব্লেন্ড করে (পিষে নিয়ে) একটা গুঁড়ো মশলা বানিয়ে নিন।

এবার কড়াইতে তেল গরম করে পেঁয়াজ, রসুন লালচে করে ভেজে নিন। মিশিয়ে দিন, আদা-রসুন বাটা, টমাটো কুঁচো। হলুদ আর লঙ্কা গুঁড়ো মিশিয়ে, নেড়ে চেড়ে একটা মসৃণ পেস্ট বানিয়ে ফেলুন।

এরপর পোস্ত-কাজু-আমন্ড বাদামের পেস্ট টা মিশিয়ে দিন। সামান্য একটু জল দেবেন, যাতে মশলাগুলো পুড়ে না যায়। দইটা ফেটিয়ে নিয়ে মিশিয়ে নাড়তে থাকুন যতক্ষন না মশলা থেকে তেল বেরিয়ে আসছে।
তেল বেরিয়ে এলে ২০০-২৫০ মিলি জল ঢেলে গুঁড়ো মশলা (Roast and Grind অংশে যে মশলাগুলো দেওয়া আছে) মিশিয়ে নেড়েচেড়ে রান্না করুন প্রায় তিন মিনিট।

এবার ম্যারিনেট করা চিকেন এই গ্রেভিতে ডুবিয়ে, ঢিমে আঁচে প্রায় ৩০-৩৫ মিনিট রান্না করুন। কড়াইতে চিকেন দেবার সময় ব্রেস্ট বা বুকের দিকটা প্রথমে প্যানের চাতালে দিন। ওইদিকে বেশী মাংস থাকে, তাই ভাল সিদ্ধ হয়ে যাবে। ৫-৭ মিনিট অন্তর চিকেন টা ঘুরিয়ে ফিরিয়ে দিন, না হলে সবদিক ভাল করে রান্না হবে না। আর চিকেনের উপর হাতা করে গ্রেভিটা মাখিয়ে দিন প্রতিবারই।
মিনিট পনেরো পর চিকেন টা পুরো উল্টে দিন। বুকের দিকটা উপরে আর পিঠের দিকটা প্যানের
চাতালে। একই ভাবে চিকেনের উপর হাতা করে গ্রেভিটা মাখিয়ে দিন।

গ্রেভি যখন ঘন হয়ে আসবে বুঝবেন আপনার চিকেন রান্না প্রস্তুত!

গোলমরিচ গুঁড়ো, মৌরী গুঁড়ো আর বেরেস্তা ছড়িয়ে পরিবেশন করুন!

Ingredients - 

   For Marination
  1500 gms - Whole Chicken (skin off)
   2 tbsp - Ginger-Garlic Paste
   1 tbsp - Lemon Juice
   2 tsp - Red Chili Powder
   1/4 tsp - Pepper Powder
   1/2 tsp - Turmeric Powder
   1/2 tsp - Salt

   For Roast and Grind
   1 tbsp - Coriander Seeds
   1 tsp - Cumin Seeds
   2 inch - Cinnamon
   2 - Green Cardamom
   4 - Cloves/Lung
   1/4 tsp - Grated Nutmeg/Jayaphala
   1 Medium - Mace/Javitri
   1 - Black Cardamom/Moti Elachi
   
   For Curry
   8/12 - Almonds
   10/12 - Cashews or 1 tbsp poppy seeds
   2 Large - Onion (or 2 cups chopped)
   1 Large - Tomato
   4 - Slit Green Chilies
   4 tbsp - Oil or Ghee
   2 tsp - Ginger-Garlic Paste
   1 tsp - Red Chili Powder (use more if required)
   2 tbsp - Chopped Mint Leaves
   2-3 Cups - Water
   To Taste - Salt


Method:
   
   Take the whole chicken and wash well. Marinate with all the ingredients listed under 'For Marination' and marinate for 30 mins or you can marinate for 3-4 hours too. Grind Almonds, cashew nuts and poppy seeds into smooth paste using 1-2 tbsp water if required, keep aside. You may also soak and peel almonds before grinding. I didn't peel almonds, as I like it.

   Meanwhile dry roast all the ingredients listed under 'For Roast and Grind' until light brown or aromatic, allow to cool and grind into powder, I kept slightly coarse, not much though.
   
   Also peel and roughly chop onion, heat 2-3 tsp oil in a pan or wok add onion pieces, garlic and saute until golden brown. Next add ginger-garlic paste and chopped tomato (you may use tomato puree instead) and saute until onion paste leaves oil. Mix and Mash all to make a fine paste. Add turmeric powder, dry red chili powder. Cook well. 
  Now add, almond-cashew-poppy seeds paste. Add very little water to avoid burnt of the masala. Cook for about a minute. Then add whisked yogurt. Cook till this mixture leaves oil. Then add 200-250 ml water and 1/2 tsp Garam masala powder. stir and mix.
  Add marinated chicken. First, put the breast side down, on pan. Breast side got much meat so it will get nice cooked. Mix well with gravy, and cook for 30-35 mins in medium to slow flame, stir in intervals.

  Do one more thing. Take spoonful gravy from pan and pour over the chicken in intervals. This will help the chicken to absorb and cook well with gravy. After 15 minutes or so, turn over the chicken and repeat the process. 
   Cook until gravy becomes thick and oil starts to float. 
   Check the tenderness of your chicken. Sprinkle 1 tsp pepper powder and 1 tsp roasted fennel powder for nice aroma and taste. Many people like coriander leave, so if you like, add chopped coriander leaves. Then off flame.
   Murgh-Chicken-Musallam Dish is ready to serve!

300 gm Paneer (cottage cheese)
500 gm spinach
1 cup onion (chopped)
1 Cup Tomato (chopped)
100 gm fresh cream
50 gm butter
1 tsp Whole Garam Masala (cinnamon, cardamom, clove)

1 tsp dry red chili powder
1/2 tsp garam masala powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
3 tbsp vegetables oil

salt to taste

How to make -
First boil the spinach for 4-5 minutes. Don't cover while boiling. If you cover, spinach would get blackish, and dish won't look good.
After boiling the spinach, strain and blend the spinach to make a nice green paste.
Heat 3 tbsp oil in a pan. Add whole Garam Masala (clove, cinnamon, cardamom). Add Shahi Jeera (caraway seeds). Be careful, Shahi Jeera gets very quickly burnt. Turn the flame low. 
Add chopped garlic, onion. Sprinkle little salt to fry the onions faster. Fry the onions little brownish, since it needs to dissolve in the gravy.
Add chopped tomato. This too fry well. Actually, everything in this Dhaba style PALAK PANEER  gravy must be a smooth paste, except the Paneer (cottage cheese). Thrash and mash the tomatoes.
Add one after one, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, dry red chili powder, Kasoori Methi (dry fenugreek leaves). 
Stir and cook well for 2-3 mins. 
Now add spinach paste. Mix well with rest. Spinach is very tender vegetables, so cook in very slow flame, else it would get burnt. 
When oil comes out on the surface of the gravy add Garam Masala powder and Paneer blocks. 
If the Paneer is fresh, don't fry it. Fresh Paneer tastes very nice. Please remember, don't cook it covered, else the nice green color will be vanished!
Now add fresh cream. Adding cream is optional. But I always prefer to add cream, since it enhance the taste of this dish.
Add one cube butter before serve!
