Instructions

THE MARINATE
Mix the chicken pieces with curd, turmeric, chilly powder and salt and coat nicely. Store for 45 mins or refrigerate overnight for best results
In the non stick pan, heat oil. Make sure to use plenty of oil for the onions cut above to be roasted nicely. (This is the main reason for taste)
Splutter mustard, cumin and fennel seeds together until they 'pop-pop'
Add Onions and Green Chillies and saute till the onions are slightly dark brown (not burnt)
Crush cardamon, cinnamon and cloves to a coarse powder and mix with above for 30 seconds
Crush ginger and garlic into a paste and mix with above for 30 seconds
Add coriander powder and mix well for 2 minutes till the fragrance is felt
THE FINALE
Add the MARINATED chicken to the MASALA and stir for around 30 minutes. If the chicken is not cooked, you can close lid and cook for sometime till chicken becomes tender.
