Kadhai Chicken

Ingredients:
Chicken 1 kg
Coriander seeds 2 teaspoons
Cumin seeds 2 teaspoons
Black peppercorns whole 6-7
Dry red chillies 6
Ginger 2 inch piece
Garlic 15-16 cloves
Ghee 2 tablespoons
Oil 2 tablespoons
Onion chopped 1
Tomatoes chopped 4
Salt to taste
Fresh coriander chopped for garnish

Method:

We need to dry roast the whole spices and make a powder. I like it coarse.. some may prefer it fine. Then we need a paste made of red chillies ginger and garlic. This will be a thick fine paste. Please use a little oil instead of water for grinding the same. Now in a kadhai heat ghee add onions and sauté till light brown. Now we need to add half of the ground powder and the ginger garlic and red chillies paste. Sauté for another 4-5 mins. Add tomatoes and salt and cook till tomatoes are completely cooked. Put chicken and stir. Cook for 5 mins. Add the remaining dry powder and mix well. Add half cup water and stir. Cover and cook till chicken is done. Garnish with coriander and serve. Best complimented with naan..
