This is a classic item, silent on the belly and promised to give u a sound sleep -> Posto Chicken


Ingredients :
  1. Chicken (500 gms)
  2. Onion (2 big sized)
  3. Mustard oil (6 tablespoon)
  4. Green Chilli (4 pieces)
  5. Posto , also known as khus-khus or poppy seed - (6 tablespoon pasted)
  6. Salt 
Easy method to cook chicken in poppy seed paste :
  1. Cut the onion in long, fine slices
  2. Make a paste of poppy seed in the mixer. Use a bit of water as appropriate
  3. Remove the stem and slit the chillies
  4. Heat 4 tablespoon oil in a kadai or utensil with lid
  5. Add the onion and fry till it turns brownish
  6. Add chicken, green chillies and salt
  7. Cook the chicken on low heat - stir the chicken occassionally and keep it covered (i suggest u do this by placing the chicken in a pressure cooker with about 2 cups of water and then let the cooker give about 2 ceetis!, and then ckeck if it is soft, else let it give one more ceeti.)
  8. keep very little of the stock, just as much as is needed to make a very very thick gravy.
  9. Now add the poppy seed paste
  10. Sprinkle a bit of water (only if water is needed). Remember this is a gravy preparation so do not pour too much water.
  11. Add 2 table spoon mustard oil and stir well to mix
  12. Serve hot with rice
