Spices n Secrets

One of my often repeated dish for a party is a chicken gravy.
Both I and my husband prepare it with minor changes in the recipe but there is no compromise with taste and texture.
So, here it is. Made with extremely simple ingredients, I share my Chicken Curry recipe. It's called Dhaba Style because the method involves lots of stirring and roasting of masalas. The quantity of oil for cooking is more than usual so that a thin layer of flavourful oil forms the top of the gravy. The addition of onions in two forms is also necessary because sliced onions act as barista the pureed onions thicken the gravy.

Ingredients:

1. 1/2 kilo chicken
2. 4 medium size onions pureed
3. 4 medium size onions thinly sliced
4. 2 large tomatoes
5. 4-5 green chillies
6. 1-2 inch stick cinnamon
7. 3 cardamom
8. 3-4 black peppercorns
