Zero Oil Afghani Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

For Marinade:

1 medium onion (roughly chopped)

1 inch ginger

6-8 garlic cloves

2 green chillies

10-12 cashews

2 tablespoons coriander leaves

1 cup curd/yogurt

1 teaspoon cumin powder

1 teaspoon coriander powder

1 teaspoon kasauri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)

Salt to taste

For Chicken:

500g chicken pieces (bone-in or boneless)

For Cooking:

3-4 cloves

2-3 green cardamoms

1 inch cinnamon stick

Hot water (as needed)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

In a blender, add onion, ginger, garlic, green chillies, cashews, and coriander leaves

Blend into a smooth paste

Transfer to a bowl

Add curd, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and kasauri methi

Mix well until everything is combined

Step 2: Marinate the Chicken

Reserve some marinade for later use (approximately ½ cup)

Add chicken pieces to the remaining marinade

Coat the chicken well

Cover and rest for 30 minutes (or refrigerate for 2-4 hours for better results)

Step 3: Air Fry the Chicken

Preheat air fryer to 180°C (356°F)

Place marinated chicken pieces in the air fryer basket (without the excess marinade)

Air fry for 10 minutes at 180°C

The chicken should be 70-80% cooked (not fully done, as it will cook further in the pan)

Step 4: Final Cooking

Heat a pan on medium flame (no oil needed)

Add cloves, green cardamom, and cinnamon stick

Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant

Add the reserved marinade to the pan

Cook on medium heat until the raw smell disappears

Add the air-fried chicken pieces

Add hot water (depending on desired gravy consistency)

Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes on medium heat until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches your desired consistency

Stir occasionally to prevent sticking

Step 5: Serve

Serve hot with naan, roti, or rice

Pro Tips:

Don’t overcook in the air fryer – 70-80% done is perfect

Reserve marinade ensures you have enough gravy

Adjust water quantity based on whether you want thick or thin gravy

Marinating for longer (2-4 hours) gives better flavour

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Marination Time: 30 minutes (minimum)

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 70 minutes

Servings: 4

  • 3-4 clavos de olor
  • 2-3 cardamomos verdes
  • 1 pulgada de palito de canela

Instrucciones para Air Fryer Afghani Chicken Recipe

Paso 1: Preparar el adobo

En una licuadora, añadir la cebolla, jengibre, ajo, chiles verdes, nueces de anacardo y hojas de cilantro

Mezclar hasta obtener una pasta suave

Transferir a un tazón

Agregar yogur, comino en polvo, cilantro en polvo, sal y kasauri methi

Paso 2: Marinar el pollo

Reservar un poco de adobo para usar más tarde (aproximadamente ½ taza)

Agregar los trozos de pollo al adobo restante

Revestir bien el pollo

Cubrir y dejar reposar durante 30 minutos (o refrigerar durante 2-4 horas para obtener mejores resultados)

Paso 3: Air Fry el pollo

Pre-calentar el air fryer a 180°C

Colocar los trozos de pollo marinado en la cesta del air fryer (sin el exceso de adobo)

Air fry durante 10 minutos a 180°C

El pollo debe estar cocido al 70-80% (no completamente hecho, ya que se cocinará más en la sartén)

Calentar una sartén a fuego medio (no se necesita aceite)

Agregar clavos de olor, cardamomo verde y palito de canela

Sofreír durante 30 segundos hasta que estén fragantes

Agregar el adobo reservado a la sartén

Cocinar a fuego medio hasta que desaparezca el olor crudo

Agregar los trozos de pollo air-fry

Agregar agua caliente (según la consistencia deseada de la salsa)

Cubrir y cocinar durante 8-10 minutos a fuego medio hasta que el pollo esté completamente cocido y alcance la consistencia deseada

Revolver ocasionalmente para evitar que se pegue
