Ingredients
3 pounds chicken pieces , skinless
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 medium onions, sliced
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon coriander powder
1 tablespoon toasted cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon minced garlic
4 plum tomatoes, dieced
Cilantro leaves for garnish
Directions
Heat a heavy bottom pan over medium high heat. Add the oil and heat for a few seconds. Then add the cumin seeds and heat till they begin to sizzle - about 30 to 40 seconds. Add the sliced onions and a teaspoon of salt. Stir well and cook until caramelized and golden brown, about 5 minutes. When the onions are nice and brown add the ginger, garlic, cayenne, cumin powder and coriander powder. Stir well and cook the onions with the spices for a couple of minutes. Lower the heat and add the chicken pieces. Stir well to coat the chicken with the spiced onions. If the mixture sticks to the pan, add 1/4 of water and stir. Brown the chicken for about 5 minutes in the onions, and then add the tomatoes. Add another ½ cup of water. Stir well. Let the mixture come to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for about 20 - 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Taste for seasoning. Garnish with cilantro and serve hot.
