Preparation

Heat oil in a large pan or kadai over medium heat.

Add mustard seeds and let them crackle. Then add cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamom pods, and black peppercorns. Saute for a few seconds until fragrant.

Add sliced onions and curry leaves. Cook until onions turn golden brown.

Add ginger-garlic paste and saute for 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.

Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and mushy.

Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Add the chicken pieces and mix until they are well coated with the spice mixture.

Cover the pan and cook the chicken on medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes or until it is cooked through. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Pour in the coconut milk and mix well. Cook for another 5 minutes.

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

Serve hot with rice, roti, or naan.
