Degi Chicken - Steam Roasted in Pressure Cooker

 This simple recipe is courtesy of Kun Foods

I have made a variation of the above to give it more flavour.

  • Get 1 KG of Chicken Tangadi from Licious.
  • Wash and make deep cuts in the chicken pieces and keep it aside

Put the following ingredients in the Pressure Cooker

  1. 2 cups water
  2. 1/2 cup cooking oil
  3. 2 tsp theeka laal mirch (red chilli powder)
  4. 1 tsp Kashmiri laal mirch
  5. 1 tsp crushed chill pepper or chilli flakes
  6. 1 tsp jeera powder
  7. 1 tsp Dhaniya powder
  8. 1 tsp chicken masala
  9. 1.5 tsp chat masala
  10. 1 tsp turmeric powder
  11. 2-3 tsp garlic paste
  12. Salt to taste
  • Add Chicken pieces in the cooker and mix everything well.
  • Close the lid and cook for 5-6 whistles (15-20 mins).
  • Take out the cooker weight and let it cool for 5 mins
  • Open the lid and cook on high flame and let the remaining oil evaporate. DO NOT Stir until all the water evaporates because this will break the chicken pieces.
  • Mix gently once the water evaporates
Take out the chicken pieces in a bowl. Serve with Pulav or Naan.

Enjoy!
