Remove the skin off the chicken drumsticks and wash well. I went with drumsticks but you can go with chicken breast or thighs.. totally upto you!
To the heated oil, add the onions, garlic and ginger pastes, turmeric powder and the bay leaf and saute for about 5mins. You want the onions to go golden brown.
Add the chicken pieces to it and brown the meat. Give it about 3-5 mins and then add the spices: cumin, coriander and chile powder. Also add some salt.
Mix well to combine. Add the tomatoes and continue frying. I had the heat on medium low and cooked it until the oil seperates.
Finally add the tomato puree, vinegar, brown sugar, about 1/2 cup of water and juice of 1 lemon. Season with salt if needed. Mix well to combine and let this simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat, transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
This curry goes great with some white rice or flavoured rice like pulao or coconut rice... Its SO delicious
