Sukhi khas-khas murgh (aka dry chik’n with poppy seeds)

I came up with this quick and easy recipe a few days ago when Karishma wanted “Brown” food and was not too keen on cooking for a long time as she was hungry! Many of us know how she is when she is hungry, don’t we? 🙂

Total time: under 10 minutes!

 

Ingredients

2 vegan chik’n strips, de-boned and filleted
1 bay leaf
1 stick of cinnamon
3 cloves
1 cardamom pod

5 black peppercorns
1Tblsp Garam masala
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, chopped fine
1tsp poppy seeds
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 small bunch of cilantro, stems chopped and leaves torn

 

Method:

In some hot oil, add the whole spices- bay leaf, cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamom,poppy seeds and peppercorns. Heat on medium for no more than a minute. Add to it chopped onions and saute till onions are light brown. Add garlic, chopped cilantro leaves and saute for 1 minute. Add chik’n and saute for no more than 5 minutes. Remember, it takes no time for nicely filleted chik’n breast to become rubbery! Add tomatoes to this and saute till the tomatoes just about start to melt and you have a thick gravy from it (see photo). Add garam masala and gentle mix it in. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with chappti/roti or on crusty bread.

MUNNI TRIVEDI

My condition was progressively deteriorating over the past 2 years. I’d been good at taking my medicine and exercising so knew I should have felt better. My arthritis and scleroderma were really affecting my quality of life. Increasing pain and fatigue were wearing me down.

Dr. Jenny and Ajoy came well-recommended so I got in touch. I completed a short questionnaire before my consultation. Covid meant it was all done over VC. They put me at ease, and it was like we were in the same room. They asked all the right medical and lifestyle questions without judgement. They devised a plan which was holistic, realistic and easy to follow. Their gentle and knowledgeable coaching kept me on track.

The resulting decrease in swelling and pain has given me a new lease of life in a few weeks. I feel so much better and look so much happier. I felt they were genuinely interested in my well-being. Happy to highly recommend them.
