Ingredients :
- Chicken on bone : 500 gms
- Onions : 2 medium sized (finely chopped)
- Tomatoes : 2 medium sized (pureed)
- Ginger : 1 tbsp (minced)
- Garlic : 1 tbsp (minced)
- Bay leaves : 2 nos
- Cloves : 4-5 nos

- Dried fenugreek leaves/kasuri methi : 1 tbsp
- Yogurt : 2 tbsps
- Oil : 2-3 tbsps
- Fresh coriander (handful)
- Salt as per the taste
Method :
- In a hot pan (try to take deep bottom pan) add oil, then add the whole spices - cinnamon, bay leaves and clove. Let them release their flavor in oil then add onions and saute till you get a nice golden brown colour.
- Add the washed chicken pieces and fry till the chicken changes its colour.
- Then add all the dry spices - red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, kashmiri red chili powder (for reddish colour) and 1/2 tsp of garam masala (rest of it we will add at the end). Give it a mix and add the salt as well.
- Add pureed tomatoes and saute until oil oozes out.
- Then add yogurt and mix well. Add water, cover and let it simmer unless the chicken cooks.
- Once cooked well, add rest of the garam masala, dried fenugreek leaves and mix well.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Enjoy with hot phulkas, rumali rotis or steamed rice :)

Note :
- You can add ginger/garlic paste instead of minced.
- The authentic way to prepare it is with Mustard oil, but here I don't get it of a good taste hence I used olive oil.
- Chicken's cooking time varies from place to place, it took only 10-15 minutes for my chicken.
