Instructions
- Start by blending all the paste ingredient fine and smooth and keep aside.
- Rinse, and pat dry chicken you use boneless chicken. Cut the chicken into bite size strips. If you use thighs or drumsticks, make some cuts with a knife into the meat.
- Massage the paste into the chicken and marinate the chicken covered in paste for 1 hour. (The longer you keep it marinated the better, I usually keep it for some hours for the best result)
- Once the chicken has marinated long enough, take out a pan and pour in your oil. Sauté the chopped onion translucent over a medium-low heat setting.
- Increase the heat and add in the chicken with the marination and sear the meat on both sides evenly for a few minutes, then add in water.
- Cook for about 10–15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked but not too dry, over a medium heat. If you need to add a few tablespoon more water to make it more like a gravy, you can do so.
- Serve hot with rice, roti flatbread or Goan pao or poi bread.
Notes
- Traditional Cafreal calls for bone-in chicken, such as chicken thighs and drumsticks.
- You can add in some more water to turn the marination paste into a gravy curry.
