Ingredients:
- chicken - 1 (700-800g), cut into pieces
- garlic paste - 1 tbsp
- ginger paste - 1 tbsp
- kalonji - 1 tsp (nigella seeds)
- methi dana - 1/2 tsp (fenugreek seeds)
- whole zeera - 1 tsp ( cumin seeds)
- saunf - 1 tsp (fennel seeds)
- bhuna zeera powder - 1 tsp (roasted cumin powder)
- red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
- haldi - 1/2 tsp ( turmeric powder)
- green chilies - 2-3/ to taste
- salt to taste
- fresh coriander (hara dhania) to garnish
Directions:
- Slit the green chilies and soak them in thelemon juice. Keep aside.
- Heat about 4-5 tbsps of oil in a nice big wok (kadhai), and fry the onions till brown.
- Add the kalonji + methi dana + Whole Zeera + Saunf. Mix well.
- Add ginger-garlic paste and haldi...roast well.
- Now put in the chicken pieces and roast on high flame till well browned.
- On high flame, add yogurt and fry well, but gently...don't want to debone the chicken!
- Once it leaves oil, add the red chilli powder + roasted zeera powder + tomatoes..and roast well once again on high flame.
- Once this also leaves oil around the edges. add about 1/2 a cup of water + salt to taste...and cook covered, on simmer for about 30 mins. Stir once in a while.
- Once the chicken is tender, put in the chilies with the lemon juice and fresh coriander, and simmer for 5-7 minutes to enhance the flavours!
- Serve with naan roti or basmati rice, and a veggie side-dish.
- Note: This is actually flavoured with the ingredients of an Indian pickle. Buy them only if you intend to use them, otherwise, its worthwhile to try the basic recipe without the 4 strange sounding seeds. You can even puree the tomatoes for a smoother gravy.
