I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Classic Balti Chicken is delicious - but also has as much fat per serving as a Big Mac! It's usually cooked with chicken pieces, skin on, and fried until golden brown. In this case we're using boneless and skinless chicken thighs instead; you won't get the deep colour of a classic Balti Chicken but you will taste the glorious mix of spices.
Firstly use the turbo button to chop up your ginger and garlic. Remove from bowl and keep aside.
Chop your onions on speed 5 for only a couple of seconds. You don't want them too finely minced.
Add the oil and cook on 100 degrees,
"Gentle stir setting" for five minutes.Add the piece of cinnamon stick, cardamoms, peppercorns, cumin seed, ginger, garlic, garam masala, chilli powder and salt.
Cook on 100 degrees
"Gentle stir setting" for 4 minutes.Add the chicken pieces and tomatoes and cook on 100 degrees,
"Counter-clockwise operation" , speed 1 for seven minutes.Add the yoghurt, cook on 100 degrees,
"Counter-clockwise operation" , speed 1 for seven minutes.Add the lemon juice, coriander and green chillies, and serve immediately over boiled basmati rice.
