Oven Roasted braised Curried Chicken


Oven roasted curried chicken is a dish which I made last week for dinner. First I thought of making my simple chicken curry, but then I dumped all the powders and sauces in the cooker, cooked till done and then baked, which turned out to be a hit in my house. This is a simple dish which can be prepared within less time. The process of cooking, baking and broiling look hectic, but once you start cooking, it will be in a flow.


Assemble all the ingredients in the pressure cooker and then bake them to perfection. A perfect curried dish which can be had along with rotis/ chapatis/ pulav. This will be a hit among the guests in any party. Adjust the spice level accordingly and kids will also love to eat this.


Slow braising of this dish yields to a soft, moist, tender chicken pieces to enjoy. First, the chicken pieces are cooked on high heat and then slowly oven roasted for some time till tender.
I like to have this with plenty of brown basmati rice to soak up the flavorful sauce.

  1. Chicken- 2 lbs
  2. Onions- 2 nos
  3. Tomatoes- 2 nos

  5. Red Chilli Powder- 1 Tsp
  6. Coriander Powder- 1 Tsp
  7. Cumin Powder- 1/2 tsp

  9. Tomato Sauce- 2 tbsp
  10. Soy Sauce- 1 tbsp
  11. Red Chilli Sauce- 1 tbsp
  12. Salt- as required
  13. Oil- 1 tbsp

Method:

  1. Heat oil in a cooker, add the chopped onions and saute till translucent. Add the ginger- garlic paste, fry for a minute, add the chopped tomatoes along with the masala powders. Stir for a minute on high flame.
  2. Add all the sauces along with required amount of salt. Add the cleaned and drained chicken, Stir well and pressure cook for 2 whistles. Switch off to cool.
