Khoya (milk solids) preparation - Boil about 1.5 litres full cream mail on low flame till all that remains was milk solids. The last 1/2 hour is most critical as constant stirring is required to ensure the residues do not get burnt.

Heat oil in a wok and fry the onions till pink & transparent.

Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook.

Add the chillies, chicken and turmeric. Stir well on medium flame. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes or till the chicken is golden brown in colour.

Add the curd and the khoya. Stir again.

Sprinkle ¾ th of the chopped coriander and mix well.

Continue cooking till the chicken is almost done.

Pour in the coconut milk and stir. Cook for 5-6 minutes.

Garnish with coriander leaves.

Serve with steamed rice, Roti, Paratha, Naan.

About

NDTV Goodtimes is one of my favourite television channels. On NDTV Goodtimes, (I dont remember on which show) I'd come across this food show where celebrity chefs cook up a meal and during that particular episode it was Renuka Chowdhury's turn and she cooked this dish. The dish sounded simple and looked great and the culmination of the myriad subtle flavours just had to make this chicken dish delicious !
