Easy Indian Chicken Curry Recipe - Gavthi Chicken Recipe

Gavthi Chicken or country chicken often refers to Country Rooster Chicken which is bony and lean and the meat of such chicken is on a tougher side and takes a bit longer to cook than the normal broiler chicken. But such country rooster chicken meat imparts delicious flavour to the curry and rather it is said that it is the curry that is to be enjoyed other than the chicken! Here is an easy Indian Chicken curry recipe which includes coconut, sesame and cumin seeds to impart delicious flavours to the chicken curry.

Method for Easy Indian Chicken Curry Recipe

Clean the gavthi chicken and rub it with turmeric, salt and little oil. Allow it to stay so for 30 minutes.




Roast one whole onion on gas flame. Keep on turning it sides, till done.




Dry roast sesame seeds, cumin seeds and dry coconut on a tawa. Allow the onion, sesame seeds, cumin seeds and coconut to cool.




Heat a heavy bottom pan. Finely chop rest of the two onions and saute. Add chicken and allow to cook for few minutes. Add to it red chili powder, garam masala and little salt. Remember we have added little salt to the chicken earlier. Cover and continue to cook for next ten minutes on slow flame.



Add 4 cups of water and continue to cook the chicken. Cover and allow the chicken to cook for about 30 minutes. Keep checking in between and give it a stir. Then cover and continue cooking.




Once the onion has cooled down, peel and roughly chop the onion. Place it in a grinder and add roasted sesame seeds, cumin seeds, coconut, coriander leaves, garlic cloves and ginger. Add some water and grind this mixture to fine paste.




Add the ground paste to the chicken. Mix well. Check the salt and add little water if you wish to have more gravy. Cover and cook for few minutes till the chicken has cooked perfectly.




Once done, add coriander leaves for garnish and serve hot with roti and rice.
