Wash and clean chicken pieces and marinate with turmeric and salt, keep aside with covered.

Soak all paste ingredients in warm water for 5 minutes.

Wash and soak Ambula with one cup of water. If you don't have Ambula the best substitute is aam chur powder. Soak 2 tbsp of aam chur powder in water and add it to curry.

Add all paste ingredients to a blender and  blend into smooth paste without additional water. Don’t grind more than three times as mustard seeds tend to get bitter in taste in case of over grinding.

Take a bowl add chili powder and 2 tbsp of mustard oil into the mustard paste and mix well.

Take marinated chicken mix this mustard paste, cover and keep this in refrigerator for 30 mins.

Heat kadhai along with mustard oil. When the oil is on smoking point, add mustard,cumin, fennel seeds , sliced onions, sliced tomato, hing, sugar, slitted green chilis and curry leaves.

 Fry till onions change the colour, add marinated chicken  into the pan. Stir and toss well nicely coated all over the pieces.

Fry chicken on medium flame till chicken turn golden brown in colour from both sides. Stir nicely and cook couple of time for evenly fried on both sides. It will take few mins. Once all look nice brown in colour add water to the pan and cook on high flame for 30 mins or until oil floats on top. Add soaked Ambula stir and cover the pan.

Continue cooking on high flame until curry reaches to personal preference.

Today I cook thick besara gravy 

For rice liquid gravy goes well. For roti,  chapati or paratha thick gravy is perfect.

Enjoy the delicious Chicken besara.
