Karaikudi style semi gravy chicken

Marinatethe chicken one hr prior to the preparation of the dish.

Heat a tsp of oil in a pan and fry all the grinding ingredients separately. Make a paste of it by adding little bit of water

Now add oil in a kadai n heat it.. Add the mustard seeds to splutter dn d fennel seeds to splutter.Add in the cloves n cinnamon n saute it.

Add the finely chopped onions and fry until they are soft golden. Add in the tomatoes n cook untill mashy and add the gg paste( i'd love to add hero of my nv dishes gg quite a bit more always)

Add the grinded paste untill itz raw smell vanishes. Add in the coriander powder and Chilli powder and salt. Mix well ( Quick Tip:Adding salt to d veggies makes them get cooked soon. Adjust d chilli powder cautiously cz it might turn up the dish sharp in itz spiciness)

Add the chicken. Add a bit of gg paste as it enhances the aroma and pour in some water and cook untill tender. It can be cooked in kadai r whistled in cooker. Adjust the consistency to gravy or semy gravy.

Finally! My fav part add d coriander leaves n serve wit rice, chapathi, roti, dosa, flavored rice like ghee rice
