Coriander (Cilantro) Chicken Curry

As you all know by now, I am all into adding my greens into the curry so I don’t have to bother with cooking up another vegetable dish. This one’s made with coriander leaves (cilantro), curry leaves and green chillies as the base for the gravy.

Note: I've used a mix of chicken legs for me and boneless chicken for Hubby. This way we're both happy. 😉
Ingredients:

Chicken - 2 lbs
Coriander leaves / Cilantro - 1 cup
Green chillies - 5 to 10 (as per taste)
Curry leaves - 5-10
Water - as needed to make a paste
Coconut oil - 2 tbsp
Coriander seeds - 1 tsp
Jeera / Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Cardamom pod - 1
Onion - 1 (chopped)
Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tbsp
Turmeric - 1/2 tbsp
Salt - as per taste
Chicken masala - 3 tsp
Yogurt - 1 cup (beaten)
Coconut milk - 1/4 cup (optional)

Step 1: Heat some oil and add in crushed coriander seeds, cumin and cardamom.

Step 2: Once they start to brown, add in chopped onions and saute until translucent.

Step 3: Make a puree out of coriander leaves, green chillies, curry leaves and some water.

Step 4: Pour in the puree, add ginger-garlic paste, turmeric and salt, Cook for about 5 mins.

Step 5: Now, add in the chicken, chicken masala, yogurt and coconut milk. 

  
Step 6: Pressure cook for 13 mins in instant pot.
(OR: Cook for 15-20 mins on medium flame until done).

Enjoy with warm basmati rice like we did. 🙂
