- In a cooker or normal pan, heat the oil.
- Saute onions, and garlic in it. Add curry leaves, coriander+cumin powder.
- Add lentil, rice, zucchini, chicken pieces, green chilies and water
- Make pouch of whole spices and put it in
- Let it cook till chicken and lentil are tender. Preferably cook in pressure cooker for 10 minutes so that you get rich broth of chicken also as can be seen in the photos
- Now carefully remove the pouch and chicken pieces from the lentil.
- Give them water wash and add this water to the lentil mixture
- Make sure no bone is left in lentil. If some meat is left in the mixture, that’s okay.
- Now blend lentil mixture well
- Strain the mixture well. Add water if needed and discard the left over
- Return this strained lentil mixture to the pan
