Chicken Do-Piaza
« on: January 13, 2005, 03:40 PM »
Anyone have a tried and tested recipe for a Chicken Do-Piaza?

A lot of the ones I have seen are either plain gravy with cummin and onions or the same but with yogurt in ???

Anyone?

Cheers

Hi CK,

This recipe came from the secrets of teh indian restaurant chefs book, I recommend this ebook to anyone, its more expensive than Dave's book from curryhouse.co.uk and its not quite as good but it does have some very good recipes in it (like this one)

Chicken Do Piaza

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons Oil
1 Medium onion (finely chopped)
2 Cloves
1 Brown cardamon
2 Green cardamons
3 Black peppercorns
3 inch Cinnamon stick
1 Large onion (thickly chopped)
1/2 teaspoon Chilli Powder
1 Clove of garlic (crushed and chopped finely)
4 tablespoons Basic Curry Sauce
1 teaspoon Special Spice Mixture
1/2 teaspoon Cumin seeds
5 tablespoons Natural yoghurt
5 tablespoons Hot water
1 pinch Salt
1 portion Chicken (pre cooked)
1 Tomato peeled, quarted and deseeded)
1/2 teaspoon Garam masala
1/2 tablespoon Green pepper
2 tablespoons Freshly chopped coriander leaves
1 tablespoon Single cream
 
1. Heat the oil and fry the finely chopped onion until golden brown, then remove the onion from the oil, put into a dish and leave to one side.
2. Add cloves, cardamoms, peppercorns, cinnamon stick to the hot oil, and stir for one minute.
3. Add the thickly chopped onion, chilli powder and crushed garlic and stir-fry for ten minutes on a low heat.
4. Add the basic curry sauce, special spice mixture, cumin seeds and blend in before adding the yoghurt. Stir fry for a further two minutes.
5. Add hot water, salt and cooked chicken and leave on a fairly high heat for two and a half minutes.
6. When the chicken is well heated, put contents into a pyrex or similar casserole dish.
7. Garnish with the already fried onion, tomato, garam masala, green pepper and coriander leaves.
8. Place in a pre heated oven for fifteen minutes.
9. Remove from the oven, pour the cream over the top and serve.

Is that the same as the Secrets of the Indian Restaurant ebook, the American one?

Hi Mark,

Just looking at the method for this and im wondering about the whole spices, are they left in right till the end?  Im assuming you pull them out before serving?

Cheers
