The weather is little cold so today I prepared Soupy Chicken. Now it's a recipe what my mom used to make for me when I was a kid. I love it. So here we go.

Now in order to make this soupy chicken, you need to use the chicken which is with eggs or if you want you can even use farm chicken as it needs to be cooked in the pressure cooker and don't forget to use lots of ginger as well.
Ingredients
- 5 medium onions
- 1 kg Chicken medium pieces
- half spoon of cumin seeds
- 6 cardamon
- 6 cloves
- Garlic 1 bulb
- 2 big knob of ginger
- 1 spoon of black-pepper seeds
- 4 to 5 green chilly
- 2 small tomato
- half spoon red chilly powder
- salt, turmeric & water as required
Method
Wash the chicken let the water drain. Chop the onions, tomato & green chilly and keep it aside. Peel the garlic and ginger too and put them in a mixer along with cardamon, cloves and pepper powder. Give it a spin or two and do not add any water as the spices need to be little chunky not powdered or paste.
Then heat the oil & once it is hot, add the half spoon of cumin seed let it turn brown.
Then add the chunky spices and fry until its brown. Now add the chopped onion and Green Chillies too and keep frying until it is golden.
Then add the chicken and keep frying for at least 10mins. After 10mins add the chopped tomato and mix it, then add salt, turmeric & the half spoon of chilly powder and mix it again and fry it for 3mins. Now add water and let it come to boil and put the pressure cooker's lid. and let it whistle at least 3 times.
Let it rest for 15 mins and serve it hot. (:

PS - Sometimes I even use the unpeeled but well washed and cleaned bulb of garlic or potatoes. If you want then you can add it too but, only if you are going to serve The Soupy Chicken with Rice. You can even have it with noodles or just like that.
