Ingredients
  

  • 1 Kilogram chicken

Marination

  • 2 tsps Chilly Powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric Powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Gravy

  • 6 Onions (medium)
  • salt
  • 3 sprig curry leaves
  • 4 green chilly
  • 1 tablespoon garlic paste
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste
  • 4 Teaspoons Chilly Powder
  • 5 Teaspoons coriander Powder
  • 2 Teaspoons fennel powder
  • 2 Teaspoons garam masala Powder
  • 4 tomato (medium)
  • 2 tbsps coriander leaves
  • coconut oil / vegetable oil

Garnish

  • 1 teaspoon ghee
  • 2 tbsps cashew nut
  • coriander leaves

Instructions
 

  • Marinate chicken with ingredients listed under marination for 1 hour
  • Heat oil in a pan. Add sliced onion, green chillies, curry leaves and some salt. Salt absorbs moisture from onion and helps onion to get cooked fast.
  • Once onion turns brown, add ginger and garlic paste and saute it well. ** Onion should be well sauteed in this recipe. So never compromise on this step 🙂
  • Add chilli powder, coriander powder,fennel powder and garam masala powder to the above mix and saute it well. Add oil as required.
  • Add chopped tomatoes to the mix and saute well
  • Once tomatoes are cooked well, adjust salt in the gravy. Add marinated chicken pieces to it. Add some chopped coriander leaves.
  • Cook until chicken is cooked and the gravy is consistent. Allow water to dry up from the gravy.
  • If you want a dry roast,  saute it for some more time. Add 1 - 2 tablespoon oil if needed. Mostly,  chicken fat will help you to roast and you might not need extra oil. Garnish it with coriander leaves and ghee roasted cashew nuts.
