The word ‘Merhaba’ in Turkish means Welcome! This recipe has nothing to do with Turkey, but this chicken recipe needs your attention. Therefore, I named it “Merhaba’.Undoubtedly an amazing dish with just very few ingredients. So let’s get on to preparing our Chicken Merhaba’.
Ingredients required:
• Chicken curry cut 500 gms• Shallots 2 cups• Red chilly flakes 2 tbsp• Cooking oil 2 tbsp• Rock salt to taste.
# Wash and drain the chicken pieces. ## Crush the shallots using a mortar and pestle. ### Use a combination of Dried red chillies which is spicy and Kashmiri chillies for its factor- color.
Heat a wok at medium flame. Pour the oil and once the oil is hot, add shallots and saute until it’s golden brown. You may add little salt to get this process quicker. Once shallots are brown, add chilly flakes. Stir well and saute for about 3 minutes. Now time to add chicken. Mix chicken properly. Increase the flame to high and stir.Let it cook on high flame for about 3 minutes. Add a cup of hot water and mix well. Check for salt. Reduce the flame to medium-sized low, cover the wok and cook for 15 minutes. Once it’s cooked, do not remove the lid. Allow it to rest for few minutes.
