Spicy Chicken Green Masala Curry.


Clean 500gms chicken (I used chicken drumsticks) apply salt and haldi.  Keep aside.

Grind to a very smooth paste the following without or with very little water :
1 big bunch coriander leaves (about 4 cups) + 2 medium sized onions + 8-10 green chillies(as per your taste) 12-15 skinned garlic + 1” piece ginger + small pinch methi (say 5-6) + 1tsp jeera + 1tblsp coriander seeds + 1tsp peppercorns + 1tsp fennel seeds + pinch of shaha jeera + 1 heaped tblsp khus khus + 5-6 cloves + 4” piece of cinnamon + 4-5 green cardamoms + little bit of jaivitri(Mace).

Now add about 2 tblsp ghee in a kadai and fry 2 onions sliced thinly lengthwise. When they become translucent add some curry leaves and further fry till brown. Add in the ground masala and fry till oil oozes out (the rawness should go). Add 4 tomatoes chopped fine and bring to a boil. When it simmers add the chicken pieces, salt, cover and cook on slow till chicken is cooked. Add in a some fresh butter. Add water only if necessary as the gravy should be thick. Serve hot with roti/fried rice/biryani/kori rotti.
