This is a chicken recipe which I tailored and combined different other recipes into a “single” form.  It distinguishes itself from other by the use of Panch phoron and  Dry red chillies

Here goes the ingredients
Spices:
  • Garam masala – Green cardamon, black cardamon,darchini(cinnamon),cloves
  • Panch Phoron – Kalo jeera(kalonji), fennel seed(mouri/saunf),  fenugreek seeds, cumin,black mustard seed(sorsey)
  • Dry red chillies (sukno lanka)
  • Bay leaf (tej pata)
For the marinade use the following
  • Yoghurt
  • Onion paste
  • Garlic paste
  • Haldi (turmeric powder)
  • Coriander powder
  • Little amount of kashmiri mirch powder
  • Salt
Other ingredients for cooking:
  • 1 medium sized onion  – sliced longitudinally
  • A little amount of sugar
  • a few cloves of sliced garlic
Steps:
  • Heat some oil in a pan/kadai and put all of the spices at once
  • After the spices start to crackle put the sliced onion and garlic
  • Put a little amount of sugar( this eases the caramelization of the onion)
  • Once the onion turns brown, put in the chicken
  • Roast the chicken under high heat till the oil separates out from the mix
  • Pour some water and cook the chicken under a covered lid till it is tender
Serve hot
