Kori Ghassi in a jiffy

every mother when they give away their daughters after marriage , they send them with love and loads of 'masala powder', be it homemade masala powder or store bought 'kundapur taal powder (in case of mangaloreans), just to make our life a little easier.So did my mom,these masala powders are like universal,can be used for any kind of curry be it veg or non veg.The first thing a 'bunt' mom teaches her daughter is not how to make ganji or neer dosa or rasam, its always 'kori ghassi'. this is one short cut kori ghassi.

ingredients

  • 1 kg  chicken 
  • 3   onions (chopped finely)
  • 2   tomatoes (chopped finely)
  • 4   tbsp masala powder( or 4tsp chilli pwd, 2 tsp coriander pwd,1 tsp cumin powder, 1/2 tsp pepper pwd)
  • 3tbsp  oil
  • 1 tin coconut milk
  • 10 curry leave (optional)
  • 1 cup water

for seasoning
1  small onion (finely chopped)
2 tbsp ghee
1/2 inch cinnamon 

method

* Keep a vessel on medium high flame, add oil, when oil is hot add chopped onion, fry till translucent, then add the masala powder and fry for 3 to 4 minutes ,add tomatoes and fry till the tomatoes are melted and the oil seperates, now add the chicken and fry for two minutes.pour in the coconut milk and 1 cup of water  curry leaves and salt.

* When the gravy comes to boil, reduce the heat to medium, cover partially and cook till chicken is done.

seasoning method

* heat ghee in a small pan , when hot add chopped onion and cinnamon, when the onion turns dark brown,take it of the flame and pour this on the chicken ghassi.

* this kori  ghassi can be served with roti, ghee rice, neer dosa, chappati............

  6. HI I am a manglorean and have recently visited your blog. Although I love manglorean food but now since I am married to a Gujarati person I have almost stopped cooking these authentic manglorean food as I end up cooking gujju food for my family and guests.

    In fact I have eaten most of these food from my mom's kitchen but did not know the exact recipes as mom's too old to cook all this for me. Thanks a ton you helped me re-live my childhood and I am surely going to try some of these recipes. Although I prefer veg food now but I will add some paneer to the gassi instead of kori. Wish me luck. Thanks once again
