Turn off the flame and take chicken pieces out and shred it into small pieces.
Add the raisins, tomatoes and mix well. Cook for sometime. Add 1 tsp spice powder while cooking.
Carefully pour the mixture into a blender. Add the butter, chicken stock, chilli powder, jeera. Puree the mixture until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. (I added less broth because I like mole to be thick).
Return the mixture to the kadai over medium heat. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the chopped chocolate and stir until melted. Add the shredded chicken and heat through for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the mole to serving dish and garnish with corriander. If you like you can add sesame seeds as garnish.
