A bowl filled with spicy and aromatic Ultimate Aagri Chicken garnished with fresh coriander leaves.

If you’re a fan of food that flirts with your taste buds and dances on your palate, then you’re in for a real treat today. We’re diving into the world of Aagri Chicken —a dish that’s as feisty as its name suggests. Imagine succulent chicken pieces swimming in a spicy, tangy sea of goodness. It’s the kind of dish that makes you want to forget about forks and knives and just dive in headfirst. Trust me, by the end of this, your taste buds will be doing the tango.

 

Ingredients To Make Aagri Chicken

Before we get into the juicy details (pun absolutely intended), let’s gather the stars of this culinary show:

  • 1 kg FreshToHome Chicken (preferably with bone, because let’s be real, that’s where the flavour hides)
  • 2 large Onions, finely chopped (because who wants chunky onion bits?)
  • 2 medium Tomatoes, pureed (tomato sauce is so last season)
  • 1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste (this is where the zing begins)
  • 2 tbsp Aagri Masala (if you can’t find this in your pantry, make it the next thing on your shopping list)
  • 1 tsp Turmeric Powder (for that golden glow)
  • 1 tsp Red Chili Powder (because a little heat never hurt anyone)
  • 1 tsp Coriander Powder (the unsung hero of spices)
  • 1 tsp Cumin Seeds (adds a little crunch and a whole lot of flavour)
  • 3-4 tbsp Oil (let’s be honest, we’re not counting calories here)
  • Salt to taste (because bland food is a crime)
  • Fresh Coriander Leaves for garnish (because you eat with your eyes first, right?)

The Sizzling Symphony: How to Cook Aagri Chicken

Alright, let’s turn up the heat and get this party started!

  1. Oil & Aromatics: Start by heating the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan. Once the oil is hot enough to make your cumin seeds dance, toss them in. Let them sizzle and pop, releasing that warm, nutty aroma.
  2. Onion Overdrive: Throw in the finely chopped onions. This is where patience is key. You want them to cook down until they’re a deep, rich golden brown. Think caramelised goodness that you just want to eat by the spoonful (but don’t—there’s a lot more coming).
  3. The Zesty Zing: Add the ginger-garlic paste. The minute it hits the pan, your kitchen will smell like a five-star restaurant. Cook this until the raw smell disappears, and you’re left with a fragrant base that’s pure gold.
  4. Tomato Tango: Now, it’s time to add the tomato puree. The key here is to cook it down until the oil starts to separate. This is when you know your base is ready to welcome the spices.
  5. Spice Symphony: Sprinkle in the Aagri Masala, turmeric, red chilli powder, and coriander powder. Stir it all together and let the spices toast lightly. The aroma should make you weak at the knees (and if it doesn’t, you might need a better masala mix).

Chicken, the Hero: Add the chicken pieces, making sure each piece is coated in that rich, spicy masala. This is where the magic happens. Cover the pan and let the chicken cook in its own juices, stirring occasionally to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom (no one likes a burnt dish).

  1. Simmer & Serve: Once the chicken is cooked through and the masala has thickened to your liking, garnish with fresh coriander leaves. The dish should look like a work of art—vibrant, rich, and absolutely drool-worthy.
  2. Taste Test your Aagri Chicken: Grab a spoon and taste the gravy. Adjust the salt if needed. If you like it spicier, throw in a pinch more chilli powder. If you’re a sucker for tang, squeeze in a bit of lime juice.

Serving Suggestions: Making It a Meal

Aagri Chicken is the kind of dish that demands attention. Serve it up with hot, fluffy naan or a bowl of steaming basmati rice. If you’re feeling a little extra (and who isn’t?), whip up a side of crispy papad or a simple cucumber raita to cool things down.
