Nepali Spiced Grilled Chicken Saut‚ ed in Tomato-Chili Sauce In a
blender combine yogurt, lemon juice, onions, cumin seeds, peppercorns, timur,
red chilies, mustard oil, and salt. Blend to form a smooth paste. Pour the
marinating paste over the chicken in a large bowl. Mix well, cover, and let
marinate for at least four hours. Grill the marinated chicken on a charcoal
grill, occasionally turning until cooked through, about 7 minutes. Cut grilled
chicken into 1-inch strips. In a sauce pan over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons
of mustard oil. Fry dry whole red peppers until dark. Add turmeric and stir for
15 seconds. Add onions, and saut‚ over medium heat until brown. Add garlic,
ginger, red chilies, cumin, coriander, black pepper, and salt to the onion
mixture. Saut‚ for 30 seconds, then add tomatoes and chicken broth.
Reduce the heat to simmer and let the tomato-onion mixture cook for
about 10 minutes, until thickened. Transfer grilled chicken strips to the
sauce; stir well. Cook for another 10 minutes to evaporate excess liquid so
that the chicken pieces are coated with the sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt
and pepper. Garnish with green onions. Serve with rice, or roti. Kitchen Staff
Tips: Roti is a flat, round, whole-wheat bread and is traditionally served with
curries. It can accompany every meal and can be eaten alone or as a side dish.
