Recipe for Cafreal Masala

Chicken Cafreal is a flavour packed Chicken dish that is cooked in a thick
Coriander Gravy.The first time I ever ate Cafreal was when I was a little girl,
at this very famous restaurant called 'Florentine' in Saligaon, Goa which till
date earns it's fame because of it's Chicken Cafreal.Whenever I prepared
Cafreal, I was never really content because it would taste like a normal Green
Chicken Curry. As I started growing up and understanding flavours and after many
experiments and trials and errors, I managed to come quite close to the Cafreals
that I enjoy eating in Goa..

🧂 Ingredients

150 Gms Fresh Coriander leaves (with stem)
1 Tspn Peppercorns
1 Tspn Cumin seeds
1/2 Tspn Corriander seeds
4 Spicy Green chillies (alter the qty as per preference)
2 Tbspn Vinegar
1/2 Tspn Turmeric powder
10-12 Garlic cloves

Instructions

1 Transfer all the ingredients into a small(dry) mixer jar

Grind all the ingredients into a smooth fine paste.

Note: You may not need Water to grind this paste as there is enough
liquid(Vinegar). Pour the vinagar little by little to grind the masala. If you
pour all at once, the dry spices may not break down completely and it may remain
coarse.
2 Once the Masala is ready, you can use it immediately or If you wish to store it,
transfer the Masala into a dry Airtight container and wait until it completely
cools and comes to room temperature and only then put the lid on

Note: As soon as you grind masala in a mixer jar, it remains slightly hot/warm
due the pressure and speed of the grinder. After transferring the Masala into
the jar/container, If you close the jar/container when the masala is hot or even
slightly warm, there is a high chance that the masala get spoilt faster due to
the heat. Hence, let it come down to room temperature and only then close the
lid tight

Place the container/jar into the Deep Freezer and you can store it for Maximum
1month.
