1 Chicken in small pieces.
2-3 Onions.
1-2 Big Tomatoes (if you only have one use some tomato paste, or a tin of tomatoes).
1 Piece of Ginger or 2 teaspoons of ginger paste.
3 Cloves of Garlic or 3 teaspoons of garlic paste.
1 Tablespoon of Yogurt (optional).
1 Black Cardamon ( if you don't have use 3-4 green cardamons).
1-2 Cinnamon Sticks.
7 Cloves.
2 Bay Leaves.
1 Teaspoon of Salt.
1 Teaspoon of Pepper.
1 Teaspoon of Chili Powder.
1/2 Teaspoon of Turmeric.
1 and 1/2 Teaspoon of Coriander Powder.
1 Teaspoon of Cumin Powder.
Right,
-> First get your chicken and stick it in hot water if frozen. If not then just put it in cold water.
->Then chop your onions, and put them in the pan with some oil, fry till light brown.
->while your oniouns are frying, blend or chop up your garlic and ginger. Then put them in a small bowl and add your spices. (Corriander powder, Cumin powder, Chilli powder, Cloves, Pepper, Turmaric, Cinnimon sticks, and Bay leaves) Stir and set aside.
-> Then chop or blend your tomatos, and Add your Salt.
-> When onions are ready (the oil will seperate (2 colors)), add your garlic/ginger/spice mix and stir, adding water if it sticks.
-> Cook for 5 min, keep checking that its not sticking, by stiring it.
-> Rinse chicken a few times, then add to the pan and stir to the sauce you have made is on the chicken, you may need to add some water, just so some of the chicken is covered, but dont add to much as chicken will release juices.
-> after the chicken goes white (it will be pink still inside), add the tomatos and stir. Add a cup of water, so the curry covers the chicken, and leave it bubbling for 25 min.
-> Keep checking on it in this time, and stir it now and then so all the chicken gets cooked.
-> Now eat it, with pitta bread or rice.
Rules : Teaspoon is the smallest spoon. Tablespoon is the biggest spoon. If you don't have a Tablespoon use 2 Spoons.
Sub note: if you forget to add anything, don't worry! just throw it in at last minute or leave it out. This recipe is pretty flexible with quantity.
