Preparation:

·         First Marinate the chicken with salt, red chilli powder, bit curd, turmeric powder n a spoon of ginger garlic paste n keep aside till we make other arrangements for the curry.

·         Now chop the Onion, green chillies, red chillies and tomatoes.

·         Make paste with all the masala paste ingredients listed above…add little water in middle n make it to fine paste…this paste is the very essential part of this curry.

·         Now heat the skillet with 5 to 7 spoons of oil…we are not going to add water in this curry,so the oil should be enough which gives good taste for non veg curries.

·         When the oil is hot enough add cumin seeds  n mustard seeds , when the mustard seeds starts spluttering add chopped onions,green chillies and  curry leaves..saute the onions till they become transparent ( half cooked),now add the chopped tomatoes n saute for a minute till r cooked , now add the marinated chicken and the masala paste which we grinded before.. increase the flame to high for 5 to 7 minutes n cover the skillet with lid…so that  the water from the chicken will be oozed out  due to high pressure…take care not to burn the chicken.

·         After  3 to 4 burn minutes..when u open the lid…u  can see the water that is oozed out…now reduce the flame to sim n let it cook in low flame till the curry is done…stir the curry occasionally…when the curry is done , oil floats on the top n the chicken piece also become too soft n tasty..even the gravy tastes awesome..adjust the spices if necessary …

·         Sprinkle little garam masala powder in the curry before offing the flame..Waite for 3 minutes n off the flame n garnish with coriander leaves if required.
