How To Make Easy Simple Coriander/Cilantro Chicken Curry

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Coriander/Cilantro Chicken Curry is a one-pot chicken curry that is a simple recipe to prepare in a few minutes. This chicken curry is full of fresh coriander flavour and beautiful green colour. There are many variations to prepare this dish. Whenever I cook, I always tweak the recipe according to my mood and the availability of the ingredient. Coriander is the key ingredient to prepare this delicious succulent chicken curry and a must for this recipe. And also whole spices, cashew, are all needed to prepare this dish.

Variations

The basic masala paste I used here is so simple and can be used for any meat or vegetable. Yes, this is a common masala where you can prepare either gravy, Tikka, or even Biriyani too. When making biriyani I add a fistful of mint leaves to it. The taste of the biriyani with the cashew paste adds richness to the rice and the taste would be so delicious and different than the regular biriyani.

How To Prepare Coriander/Cilantro Chicken Curry

Lets see how to prepare this easy one-pot chicken curry in a step by step preparation.

Clean and wash coriander in running water and chop into pieces. Get ready with whole spices for grinding as shown.

Add all the ingredients in a mixer grinder and grind with little water until it forms a fine paste. Now add homemade Ginger Garlic Paste to the green paste and pulse once. Aromatic fresh green paste is ready for making the curry.

In a wide hard anodised pan heat oil on a medium heat and add sliced onions and saute until translucent.

Add coriander masala paste and turmeric powder and saute well.

Now add cleaned and washed bone-in chicken and salt to taste and saute well until the green paste coats well on to the chicken pieces.

Do not add water. Cover the pot and cook the chicken for 20 minutes on low heat.

Meantime soak cashew nuts, few raisins and poppy seed with a little lukewarm water for say about 10 minutes.

Grind soaked cashew mixture to fine paste. Lukewarm water helps to soak fast. Add cashew paste to coriander chicken and gently stir until it is thoroughly mixed and let it cook for five minutes.

Remove from heat when oil starts to float on the gravy.

Easy simple Coriander/Cilantro chicken curry is ready to serve with piping hot plain rice, any flatbreads, and flavoured rice.

Notes

Use fresh coriander leaves for this recipe to achieve fresh aromatic coriander flavour and appetizing green colour.

You can use both Bone-in chicken or Boneless chicken. I always prefer the latter.

I added five raisins while grinding cashew paste. It gives a mild sweetness to the curry. It is purely optional.
