Rustic Dhaba Style Chicken Curry

Wash the chicken pieces thoroughly with warm water.

Prick the pieces with a fork for the spices to permeate.

Sear the chicken nicely on medium to high heat for about 10-15 minutes.

Add the fried onions, chopped ginger & the garlic paste followed by the degi mirch, turmeric & salt. Stir well.

Pour in the tomato pure.
Cook for 2 minutes. Add the water.
Let it simmer until the chicken is tender. Sprinkle the garam masala powder & the crushed kasoori methi.

Garnish with the coriander greens.

Serve hot with Tawa Roti/Tandoori Roti/Naan/Rice.
