This week I thought I’d make a chicken recipe. But wait. What shall I make from a huge list? I decided to make a traditional gravy-style chicken samma recipe. It goes well with chapati, ghee rice, roti, and naan. Let’s get started!

Step 1 – Chicken Samma Pre-preparation:

Take 1/2 kg of washed chicken cut into medium-sized pieces. Mix those pieces with 1 tbsp of ginger garlic paste and marinate it for 10 minutes.
Take a jar and add three roughly chopped green chilly along with three roughly chopped onions. Blend it to get a ground paste.

Take 2 cups of coconut milk in a bowl. Add 1 tbsp of curd and ground paste into it. Put 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder, 1 tsp of garam masala, and mix well.

Step 2 – Making Chicken Samma:

Get a clay pot and pour 3 tbsp of oil. Keep the flame with medium heat. Add three finely chopped onions, three slits of green chilly, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Put one finely chopped tomato into it and saute well.

It’s time to add marinated chicken and mix it well. Add 1 tbsp of red chilly powder, mix it well and cook for 3 minutes. Add dissolved coconut milk and put the required salt as per your preference.

Cover with lid and cook for 15 minutes. Add some coriander leaves into it, cover it and, simmer it for five more minutes. Now the chicken samma is ready to serve!
