For a chicken of about 900g weight take 2 medium onions slice 'em and fry in oil till they turn light brown, not dark.Then take out the fried onions and put 'em in a processor with about 4 Tbsp of yogurt and blend to a paste.

Fry 3-4 medium sized sliced tomatoes in oil, add chicken to it and let it cook for 5 mins or so.

Separately roast 1tsp of Cumin seed and 1 tsp dry corriander in a pan or 'tawa'. Then coarsely crush them preferably with a hand mortar, so that it doesn't turn to a powder. Also coarsely crush 1/4 tsp whole black pepper.

After 5 mins or so add the yogurt-onion mixture to chicken +ginger julian cut+ salt+ red chilli powder +crushed black pepper+ crushed cumin and coriander from above, save a little to put in the end for aroma.

Stir all this and cover, let cook until oil separates then bhonafiy it a little until chicken is done. Add the leftover roasted/crushed cumin+coriander in the end.Serve with some green chillies and fresh coriander.


It turns out brownish like the restaurant one's.
