Instructions
- In a non-stick sauté pan, heat two tablespoons of butter over medium heat until melted.
- Add the black peppercorns and fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the turmeric and chopped onion, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, gingerroot, and cumin powder to the pan, stirring well for another minute to combine.
- Incorporate the mango chunks into the onion mixture, mixing thoroughly, and sauté for an additional five minutes to allow the mango to sweat and release its juices.
- Add chili paste, salt, and pepper to the mango mixture, stirring to ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 10 minutes, letting the flavors meld and the mixture reduce slightly.
- Remove the pan from heat and transfer the mixture to a blender, pureeing until smooth to create a luscious mango sauce.
- In a large mixing bowl, season the chicken pieces with lemon juice, salt, and pepper, tossing to coat evenly.
- In a clean non-stick saucepan, heat two more tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Add the seasoned chicken to the pan, browning the pieces well for 8-10 minutes until they are nearly cooked through.
- Pour the pureed mango sauce over the browned chicken, stirring to coat each piece thoroughly with the sauce.
- Lower the heat and allow the chicken to braise in the mango sauce for 10-15 minutes until tender, ensuring the sauce thickens to a desirable consistency.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with a tablespoon of chopped cilantro, alongside fluffy rice or warm roti (flatbread) for a complete meal.
Enjoy this tantalizing Mango Chicken Tarkari as a unique addition to your dinner repertoire, showcasing the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors that are sure to please your palate!
