Cumin Seeds (Zeera)                       1 tsp. crushed
Coriander powder                            3/4 tsp.
Salt                                                   1 tsp.
Turmeric powder                             1/4 tsp.
Cinnamon stick                                1
Black Cardamom                             1
Green Cardamom                             2
Black pepper whole                         4
Cloves                                              4    
Water                                               2 cups     

Coriander Leaves (dhanyia)            Few

Procedure:

Heat oil in a pan, and add chicken & fry on low-medium heat until it changes color (for about 10 minutes) and all its water has dried up. Remove and set aside.

Next add chopped onions & fry them until they turn golden brown. Next add the ginger & garlic paste and blended tomatoes & green chili. Fry and fry.. & cook until all the water has dried & a paste has formed :) Add some water and keep on stirring for about 10-15 minutes. So that onions also become mushy!

Next add rest of the above mentioned spices & chicken & cook for about 10 minutes until oil separates. (Add whipped yogurt at this stage too. I didn't use yogurt).

Now add 2 cups of water and let it boil. Next cover & let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, until almost half of the gravy is left & oil comes on top.

At end add the chopped coriander leaves & let it simmer for 1 minute or so.

Delicious & simple Chicken Curry is ready. Serve with naan or chapati or boiled rice! :)
