Chicken Maharani is a Mughlai Dish that looks and tastes both unique. This is that kind of recipe that you can make to change your mood and even if a sudden guest have arrived without a notice and you want to make something quick but with less effort .

It’s so tasty and it goes with Paratha,Pulao,Roti ,Naan and even with steamed rice. It has a rich texture that comes from the nuts and thick gravy from adding 2 types of onions (chopped and paste). The dried fenugreek leaves or kasauri methi adds a different flavor to it.

So, without wasting anymore time…let’s start making Chicken Maharani…in my style 👇👇👇

Type- Curry

Preparation time- 20-25 minutes

Cooking time- 35-40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2lbs or 1 kg chicken legs or any curry cut pieces
  • For the spice mix- Dry roast 1 tbs coriander seeds+1 tbs cumin seeds+1 tsp fennel and then grind into a fine powder
  • For the nut paste- 5-6 almonds+8-10 cashew nuts+ 1/4 th cup milk (soak everything for 30 minutes and then grind into a smooth paste
  • For a quick ginger, garlic,onion and green chillies paste- In a blending jar add 1 small onion,7-8 green chillies,3-4 cloves of garlic,1/2 ” ginger and make a smooth paste
  • 1/2 cup yoghurt
  • Salt to taste
  • 1.5 tbs red chilli powder
  • 1 tbs ginger paste
  • 1 tbs garlic paste
  • 1 cup chopped onions
  • 1.5 tsp kasauri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)
  • 1 tsp mace powder (javitri powder)
  • Chilli flakes and kasauri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) for garnishing

Procedure:

  • Marinate the chicken with 1.5 tbs red chilli powder,1/2 cup yoghurt,1 tbs ginger paste,1 tbs garlic paste,1.5 tsp kasauri methi (dried fenugreek leaves),1 tbs salt
  • Mix everything and marinate it for at least 30 minutes-1 hour and for best result overnight
  • In a pan heat 3 tbs oil on a medium flame and add 1 cup chopped onions and cook it till translucent
  • Now when the onions are translucent then add the onion,ginger, garlic and green chillies paste (see ingredients section for this part)
  • Keep on cooking till the oil separates and then add the marinated chicken to it
  • Mix and cover and cook for 10 minutes on a medium low flame
  • Then add 2 tsp of the prepared spice mix and nuts paste (see ingredients section for this part) and mix
  • Mix till oil separates and add 1/2 cup warm water for the gray
  • Adding water depends on you,that how much thick or thin you want your gravy
  • Add 1/2 tsp of mace or javitri powde and salt to taste and again cover and cook for 10 minutes on a medium flame
  • Now this step is optional, we’re adding 3-4 potatoes cut into halves and quarters
  • We like potatoes in our curry but tout definitely can skip it
  • Again cover and cook for 25 minutes on a medium- medium low flame but you should check in between
  • At this point our Chicken Maharani is done
  • Give it a standing time of 5-8 minutes and its done

Aam tel/Hot ‘n’ Sour Raw Mango Pickle

Aam Tel or Hot ‘n’ Sour Raw Mango Pickle is not only a simple pickle from Bengali Cuisine but it’s an emotion for Bengalis.

It is mainly prepared during the summer by our Grandmothers. And we as a kid used to steal it from the jars when our Grandmother is asleep. This was a childhood memory ,and I hope most people have this memories.

This is a very simple recipe,and this flavored oil is used in many items like you can make puffed rice or jhalmuri . With the pickle spice we made you can use to make achaari aloo, achaari chicken.

This Aam Tel can be made simply by washing and drying the raw mango pieces and then soaking them in oil with spices and our cooking medium in sunlight.

So,let’s start making Aam Tel or Hot ‘n’ Sour Raw Mango Pickle…my style 👇👇👇

Type- Pickle

Preparation time- 15-20 minutes

Cooking time- Put it in the sunlight for 7-8 hours, 3-4 days for drying+ 7-8 hours for 3-4 days for soaking

  • 12-15 whole dried red chillies
  • 2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 2 tsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp panchphoran
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds (mouri)

Procedure:

  • In a pan first dry roast 12-15 whole dried red chillies,2 tsp cumin seeds,2 tsp coriander seeds,1 tsp panchphoran and 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • Keep on roasting until you get aroma
  • Always keep on moving your laddle, otherwise your spices might get burnt and this is the last thing you want right?
  • Let it come to room temperature and then grind into semi fine or coarse powder
  • Your pickle spice is ready and keep it tightly in a sterilized jar until used
  • Now take 2 medium sized mangoes (or 1 large) and cut it into cubes
  • Wash it thoroughly and then allow it to dry
  • Dry means completely dry,and if possible check each piece so that there is no water otherwise what will happen you know? Your pickle might get fungus
  • So dry them up COMPLETELY
  • Now to your mango pieces and add 1.5 tsp salt and 1.5 tsp turmeric powder
  • Completely coat all the pieces
  • Place it on a dry plate (everything must be dry) and the cover with a meshy cover and put it in the sun
  • Put it in the maximum sunlight and our purpose is to dry out our mangoes
  • You should put it under sun for 3-4 days for at least 7-8 hours
  • Now in a pan add 1 1/4 cup mustard oil and heat it up on a high flame
  • Then cool down to a temperature where you can at least touch with fingers
  • In a clean bowl add our mangoes and add 4 tbs of the pickle spice we made and mix and to it add 1/2 cup of the mustard oil and again mix
  • Take sterilized glass jar and pour our mangoes with spice and oil
  • Give it a shake and add rest of the spice you made with rest of the oil
  • Tighten up the lid and again shake it up
  • Again you need to put it in the sun for at least 6-7 days for 7-8 hours
  • While keeping in the sun remove the lid and cover the mouth with a meshy covering so that it gets proper sunlight and no insects falls or sits on it
  • After 7-8 days your pickle will be ready but to give it more shelf life just put it in the sun almost everyday if possible for at least 2-3 hours
  • Your Aam Tel or Hot ‘n’ Sour Raw Mango Pickle is ready

In Bengal after Durga Puja, there is something call ‘bijaya’, in this period people visit people’s house where they exchange some sweets and in every house this recipe is common.

You can say it’s a recipe which has my so many great childhood memories.

It goes great with Roti, Tortillas,paratha or rice or you can just have it as “Chaat”, by adding some tamarind pulp,some bhujiya/sev on the top.

So,let’s make Chana Masala/Chickpeas curry 👇👇👇

  • Don’t worry about the shape,it’s a Jalebi after all
  • When the Jalebis rise up then flip it and keep on frying
  • When you see that the color of the Jalebis have now become dark flip again for the final time
  • Now take out and soak in the sugar syrup for 2-3 minutes and take it out
  • Keep on repeating the process
