Ingredients :

Chicken - 1/2 Kg

2 Cloves

2 Cardamom

1 Cinnamon

Ginger & Garlic Paste - 1 tsp each

Jeera Powder - 1 tsp

Red Chilli Powder - 1 tsp

Garam Masala - 1 tsp

Corrainder Powder - 1 tsp

Turmeric Powder - 1/4th tsp

Grated Onion - 2 large

Tomato Puree - 1/4th cup

Oil + Ghee for cooking

Curd - 1/4th cup

Salt to taste

Corrainder leaves

Water

Method :

Clean the chicken and add curd and little salt and marinate the chicken for half hour.   In the cooker, add little ghee + oil and when hot, add the cloves, cardamom & cinnamon.  Before adding the grated onion ensure that you squeeze out the water from the grated onion.  Saute this till golden brown colour.  To this add the ginger garlic paste and saute for some more time.  Now add the masala one by one and then the tomato puree and saute this really well for 2 1/2 minutes.  Add the chicken and cook for some time till the masala mixes with the chicken.  Add the corriader leaves to this mixture and cook for some more time.  Now add enough water and close the lid of the pressure cooker.  After 1 whistle, slow the flame and allow to cook for 5 minutes.  Switch off the gas.  Once it is cool, open the lid and add the garam masala and mix well.  Decorate with Corriander leaves and cut lemon and serve with Roti / Rice.
