This is the traditional Goan version of masala chicken. It can be either fried or grilled on the BBQ.
Ingredients
- 1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken
- salt to taste
- 6 fresh green chile peppers, chopped
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
- 15 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, chopped
- 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
- 1 (1 inch) piece cinnamon stick, broken into pieces
- 8 whole cloves
- 6 peppercorns
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
- 1 medium lime, juiced
Directions
Step 1
Wash the chicken and cut it into large pieces. Rub with salt and set to aside.
Step 2
Combine chile peppers, cilantro, garlic, ginger, tamarind, poppy seeds, cumin seeds, cinnamon, cloves, peppercorns, and turmeric in a large mortar. Crush into a paste with a pestle.
Step 3
Rub chicken with the paste on all sides until completely covered. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or 8 hours to overnight for best results.
Step 4
Add enough oil to generously cover the entire bottom of a large skillet; heat until a thermometer registers 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry chicken pieces in batches until golden brown on the outside and no longer pink at the bone, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Step 5
Drizzle with lime juice before serving.
Cook’s Note:
Instead of using a mortar and pestle to make the masala paste, use a spice grinder to grind all the spices. Then add them to your blender with chiles, coriander, garlic, and ginger and process to a paste.
