Directions
- First, thoroughly wash and clean the chicken, then drain it. ≈ 8 min
- Next, in a large bowl, combine the meat with 1 tablespoon of grated ginger, 2 tablespoons of chopped garlic, 2 tablespoons of Kashmiri red chili powder, 1/2 tablespoon of turmeric powder, 3 tablespoons of yogurt, 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, and salt to taste. ≈ 4 min
- Mix thoroughly. ≈ 4 min
- Cover the mixture and let it rest for at least 40 minutes.
- In a pan, gently toast the dried chili peppers, small cardamom pods, bay leaves, turmeric, ginger, cloves, mustard seeds, and a tablespoon of cumin and cilantro until they are lightly browned.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- Next, mix or grind into a fine powder.
- In a pan, heat 4 tablespoons of oil paint, then add a pinch of salt and turmeric.
- Fry the peeled apples and hard-boiled eggs until they are lightly golden, then set aside.
- Then, add the chopped garlic, cardamom, and cloves. ≈ 3 min
- Reheat the remaining oil paint until the aromas are released.
- Then add the chopped onion and the whole onion, and cook them for about 2 minutes, until they are lightly browned.
- Once the fried onions are cooked, mix them well with chopped ginger and garlic. ≈ 4 min
- Next, add the pre-mixed spices and the remaining Kashmiri chili powder, and cook everything for a few minutes.
- Marinate the meat in a mixture of spices.
- Thoroughly mix the meat with the spices, then add the French-style potato chips.
- When the meat starts to release its fat, reduce the heat and cover for 10 minutes to allow it to simmer.
- Once the lids have been removed, place the hard-boiled eggs in a dish. ≈ 3 min
- Then, cover and let simmer over low heat for another 5 minutes, so that the flavor of the broth also penetrates the eggs.
- Once the meat and apples are cooked through and the sauce is well-coated, turn off the heat. ≈ 3 min
