Dal gosht or Dalcha is a gravy dish which has any meat which is cooked with dal or veggies in it. It is more like a meat sambar. Mostly this recipe is cooked with mutton as well chicken. Here is my recipe for hassle-free one pot Dalcha with chicken.
1. Boneless chicken - 200 grams
2. Chana dal - 1/2 cup (soaked for one hour)
3. Onion - 1 big size or 2 medium size
4. Ghee - 3 tsp
5. Garlic cloves - 5-6
6. Red Dry chillies - 2-3
7. Mustard seeds - 1 teaspoon
8. Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
9. Cloves - 3-4
10. Green cardamoms -2-3
11. Cinnamon - 1 inch stick
12. Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
13. Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
14. Salt to taste
15. Melon seed paste or Kaju paste - 2 tsp
Process:
1. In a cooker, heat ghee, add slice onions, dry red chillies and garlic cloves.
2. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, green cardamons, cinnamon, cloves and let them splutter. Saute till onion becomes translucent.
3. Add chicken pieces and mix well, Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder and salt. Add soaked chana dal and mix well.
4. Add 2 cups of water and kaju paste (or melon seed paste) and mix again. I have used kaju paste.
5. Close the pressure cooker with the lid and let it cook under pressure till 3-4 whistles. Reduce the heat and continue to cook for 10 more minutes.
6. When the pressure reduces, open the cooker and check if the chicken pieces are properly boiled. (Note - You can add fresh cream if available)
7. Transfer into a serving bowl, garnish with fresh coriander or onions. Serve hot, goes well with steamed rice.
