How to make murg do pyaaz:
We start the chicken preparation by first marinating the chicken for 3 - 4 hours.
For Marination - clean and dry the chicken and cut into medium size pieces. Then rub in the
ginger-garlic paste, red chilly and salt on all the chicken pieces. Cover it and keep it aside for 3 - 4 hours in fridge.
In a kadhai , heat the ghee or oil what ever you are using. Now add the bay leaf and then add the ginger garlic paste. Fry it till it gets nice brown. Then add the chopped onions. Cook then till they are also brown. Make sure not to burn the onions.
Now add the tomato puree and salt and cook till all the raw smell disappears and the oil separates from the paste.
When the oil separates add the the turmeric powder, red chilly powder and the beaten curd. Stir fry till all the curd is very well incorporated in the gravy. This should take 5 - 10 minutes.
Now add all the dry spices - coriander powder, cumin powder and half of garam masala. Also add the chicken pieces and the water.
Stir everything well and add cover the kadhai and let the chicken cook on low flame for 10 minutes.
Now add the pearl onions and cook further till the chicken is well cooked.
Stir occasionally as not to burn the paste. Do not over cook the chicken or it will become chewy.
When chicken is done add the rest of the garam masala.
Take out the chicken in a serving bowl and garnish with green coriander and ginger juliennes.
