鈥? large or 2 small onions (200-225 gm.)


鈥?/2 inch piece of ginger


鈥?-3 cloves of garlic


鈥?-3 tbs. tomato puree or 2-3 medium sized fresh tomatoes.


鈥? tbs. dry fenugreek or methi leaves (optional)


鈥? 1 1/2 tsp. garam masala


鈥round Spices:


鈥? level tsp. turmeric powder


鈥? tsp. coriander powder

鈥 handful of fresh coriander leaves


鈥?/2 tsp. Garam Masala.





Instructions

3.If using fresh tomatoes, chop into small pieces or puree.


4.Clean, wash and chop coriander leaves and keep aside.


5.Measure whole and ground spices separately.


6.Heat oil in a heavy bottomed wok or pan.


7.Add cumin seeds and whole spices*, wait until cumin seeds splutter, but not burn. Add onions and garlic and ginger mix and fry until brown. Ginger often sticks to the pan, so keep stirring or use a non-stick pan.


8.Add all other spices and stir for a few seconds to allow flavours to come out.


9.Add tomatoes and methi leaves. Cook stirring frequently, until oil separates. If using yoghurt, instead of tomatoes, add after step 10, when chicken pieces are browned and sealed.


10.Add chicken and cook on medium-high flame, stirring frequently until it is well coated and sealed.


11.Cover and cook on low-medium flame until tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. Cooking time depends on the quality of chicken.


12.Add water, only if a thinner gravy is required. Usually there is enough water in the chicken.


13.Turn off heat.


14.Sprinkle garam masala and half of coriander leaves %26amp; stir. Cover and leave.


15.Sprinkle rest of the coriander leaves as garnish, before serving.


16.Serve with Plain Pulao Rice or Boiled Rice or Nan or Tandoori Roti or Chapatti.

鈥or a more exotic taste, add a couple of tbsp. of cream or sour cream or thick yoghurt or red wine towards the end and mix thoroughly.


鈥ariations:


鈥dd one bunch of fresh or 2 tbs. of dry fenugreek leaves while meat is cooking. Fresh leaves have to be removed from their stalks, washed and chopped roughly.
