Chicken Chukauni

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts (cut into small cubes)
• 0.5 tsp salt (for seasoning the chicken)
• 2 cloves garlic (crushed, for the chicken)
• ginger (a small piece, for the chicken)
• 1 tsp smoked paprika (for the chicken)
• 1 tsp turmeric (for the chicken)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice (for the chicken)
• oil (a drizzle, for cooking the chicken)
• butter (or a little oil, for cooking the chicken)
• onion (thinly sliced; quantity not specified in the description)
• fresh cilantro (chopped; quantity not specified in the description)
• 100 g fromage blanc (or plain yogurt)
• 0.5 tsp salt (for the sauce)
• 1 tsp sugar (for the sauce)
• 1 clove garlic (crushed, for the sauce)
• 3 tbsp oil (for the sauce)
• 1 tsp smoked paprika (for the sauce)
• 1 tsp turmeric (for the sauce)
• chili pepper (mentioned in the narration; quantity not specified)

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the chicken breasts into small cubes.

2. 2

   Season the chicken with the salt, smoked paprika, turmeric, chili pepper, crushed garlic, ginger, and lemon juice. Mix well; there is no need to marinate.

3. 3

   Cook the chicken in a frying pan with a drizzle of oil or a little butter. Since the pieces are small, cook them for a few minutes, until cooked through.

4. 4

   While the chicken is cooking, thinly slice the onion and chop the cilantro.

5. 5

   When the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a plate. Add the sliced onion and cilantro, then set the chicken aside while preparing the sauce.

6. 6

   In a bowl, mix the fromage blanc or plain yogurt with the salt, sugar, and crushed garlic.

7. 7

   In a frying pan or saucepan, heat the oil with the smoked paprika and turmeric. The source does not explicitly specify what follows in this hot sauce step.

8. 8

   Pour the sauce generously over the chicken. Serve warm or cold, with rice or bread according to your preference.

Notes

The narration mentions chili pepper, an onion, and cilantro, as well as a little oil or butter for cooking, without quantities; these ingredients do not appear in the written list. The description gives an announced preparation time of 10 minutes, but no separate cooking time. The OCR and narration do not make it possible to determine exactly how the hot oil and spices are incorporated into the sauce; this step is therefore left without a detailed method. The video indicates that the dish is eaten warm or cold and mentions rice or bread as accompaniments.
