This happens to be my first attempt at preparing this easy and delicious chicken curry, cooked in a handi or clay pot. The chicken is marinated in an array of spices overnight. It is then covered with a foil and simmered away to perfection in a dum style. Relish this delicacy with jeera rice, plain Biryani, naan or tandoori roti. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare it.
- 300 gms chicken on bones, curry cut
- 1" cinnamon stick
- 2-3 green cardamoms
- 5-6 cloves

- 1 tsp. red chili powder
- 1 tsp. coriander-cumin powder
- 1 tsp. garam masala powder

Take the chicken pieces out of the marinade and add to the onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes. Now add the marinade and stir well for 2 minutes.
