Chicken masala

This recipe is incredible because of the flavor it has and how easy it is to prepare: chicken masala. The spices «masala» They are a delicious mixture of spices, very common in the cuisine of India and Pakistan and other countries in East and Southeast Asia. The main ingredients that make up a masala (although it depends on the master grocer who mixes them) would be black pepper, mace, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg, and coriander. This combination of spices gives dishes a truly distinctive aroma and flavor.

Today's dish is very simple, but it is really tasty and delicious. I really like using chicken thighs because they are very juicy, although if you prefer the breast it is also perfect. It is very very important that you cut the large pieces of chicken, because if not, they would end up undone. That is, I cut a chicken thigh into 4 pieces only. And the breast, important that it is whole, not filleted, okay? And you can cut a whole breast into approximately 6 pieces.

Today they sell this ready-made mix of spices in any specialized food store, even in some large supermarkets. Also online you will find it very easily. I recommend that you always have some basic spices at home that will help you create incredible dishes, such as curry or garam masala.

And with these and other spices and other ingredients such as coconut milk, curry, etc., as well as its different way of preparation (for example, tandoori oven) you can find countless dishes in Indian cuisine that are really delicious for example. tikka masala, tandoori masala ...

The star accompaniment for this dish, without a doubt, a rich basmati rice. Here is the recipe: how to cook side basmati rice.
