Ingredients Serving: 4

  1. 1 whole chicken, cut into10 pieces (approx. 800 grams)
  2. 250g onion, chopped
  3. 5 large tomatoes, finely chopped
  4. 1 tbsp garlic-ginger paste
  5. 2 tsp cumin seeds
  6. 1 tsp Coriander seeds
  7. 1 tsp Black Pepper corns
  8. 1 black cardamoms
  9. 1 tsp dry fenugreek leaves (kasoori methi)
  10. 1 tsp turmeric powder
  11. 1 tbsp Coriander powder
  12. 1 tsp red chilli powder
  13. 2 Dried Red Chilies
  14. 1 bay leaf
  15. 1 tsp garam masala
  16. 4 tbsp refined vegetable oil
  17. Salt to taste
  18. 400ml water
  19. 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander

Instructions

  1. Dry roast 1 tsp cumin seeds, the dried red chilies, black cardamoms, coriander seeds and peppercorns till brown and fragrant. Coarsely grind the spices.
  2. Heat oil and add 1 tsp cumin and the bay leaf. When the cumin begins to splutter, add the onions. Saute until the onions have softened. Add the garlic-ginger paste, turmeric powder, coriander powder, chili powder, and salt. Saute for 1 minute and add the tomatoes. Saute till the masala is well cooked and oil separates out on the sides.
  3. Add the chicken and stir well. Cook for 4-5 minutes. Boil the water and pour over the chicken. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and add the roasted spices. Cook till the gravy has reduced to almost high.
  4. This might take 5-6 minutes on high flame. Broil the dry fenugreek leaves on a hot griddle and crush over the curry. Garnish with chopped coriander and serve hot. In the roadside Dhaba, you might get this with an added dollop of fresh home made butter on top!
