Instructions

Step 1
Recipe
Step 2
1. Wash, clean, remove the skin and cut chicken into twelve pieces. The size of the pieces used is normally a little smaller than the one used for chicken curry.
Step 3
2. Peel and chop the onions.
Step 4
3. Heat a little oil and slightly brown the grated coconut and keep aside.
Step 5
4. Now dry roast cinnamon, cloves, red chillies, turmeric, khus khus, ajwain, cumin seeds, peppercorns, fennel seeds, star anise and coriander seeds till a nice aroma is given out. Grind to a paste together with garlic and coconut.
Step 6
5. Heat the remaining oil in a thick-bottomed pan and sauté the finely chopped onions till brown.
Step 7
6. Add the masala paste and cook till oil separates. Add the chicken pieces and saute for sometime. Add two cups of water and salt, bring to a boil and add tamarind pulp and grated nutmeg.
Step 8
7. Simmer for five minutes and serve hot with Goan pav or Goan rice.
Step 9
Note: for added depth I added lean turkey mince for additional protein (like a heathen) - optional.
