Postup

Krok za krokem

1
Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Přibližně 1 min
2
Add the chopped yellow onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Přibližně 7 min
3
Stir in the turmeric, salt, and black pepper, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Přibližně 1 min
4
Add the chicken pieces to the pot and brown them lightly on all sides, about 5-8 minutes.
Přibližně 8 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Do not cook the chicken through completely at this stage.
5
Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
6
Add the finely ground walnuts to the pot and toast them over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until they release their aroma and darken slightly.
Přibližně 7 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Be careful not to burn the walnuts, as they can become bitter.
7
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Přibližně 30 min
Poznámka kuchaře: This step helps the walnuts release their oils and thicken the sauce.
8
Stir in the pomegranate molasses and sugar.
Přibližně 1 min
9
Return the chicken to the pot, ensuring it is submerged in the sauce.
10
Cover the pot and continue to simmer on low heat for at least 60-75 minutes, or until the chicken is very tender and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Přibližně 1 h 15 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor.
11
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, sugar, or pomegranate molasses to balance the sweet and sour flavors.
Přibližně 1 min
12
If using, stir in the bloomed saffron just before serving.
13
Serve hot, garnished with fresh pomegranate seeds if desired, typically alongside steamed basmati rice.
