Ingredients
  

  • 1 Kg Mix Boneless & Bone-in Chicken 
  • 4 Fresh Tomatoes 
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 tsp Ginger paste
  • 1 tsp Garlic paste
  • 3 Green Chilies 
  • 1 Lemon
  • Cilantro
  • Salt (Adjustable)
  • tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp Dry Coriander powder 
  • 1 tsp Mix masala (alternately, you can use Red chili powder)
  • ½ tsp Cumin powder
  • 5 - 6 Black pepper balls
  • 1 Small Cinnamon 

Instructions
 

  • Add the oil to the pan or wok whatever you say. Then, add cumin seeds, black pepper balls, and Cinnamon and fry for 2 minutes. 
  • Add chicken pieces, stir them occasionally, and fry them until the chicken turns white or gives a soft color. In my case, it takes 2 minutes to turn the color of the chicken on a medium flame. 
  • Then add sliced onions and mix them thoroughly. After half a minute, add garlic and ginger paste and fry the chicken for 8 to 10 minutes. I'm also adding a small amount of water because I don't want anything to be charred. Also, occasionally stir the chicken to perfectly infuse the taste of onions and ginger in it. 
  • It's time to throw tomato paste and all the spices. Also, add 1/3 cup of water and simmer for 3 - 4 minutes on a medium flame. 
  • Now, our Chicken Karahi Gravy is ready to serve. Before dishing out, sprinkle some green chilies, squeeze lemon juice, and throw in garlic slices for a more appealing look.
