Red color or Red chilli powder called Kashmiri Chilli powder: 1/4 tsp (or less if you dont want any spice)


Marinate the cleaned and cut chicken,make a couple of diagonal slits on the surface of the chicken.

Cover the marinade and leave in the fridge for atleast 6-7 hrs.

Add some ginger and garlic paste

Add blended onions to the oil mix,

Keep mxing and moving this mixture till the onions start turning brown.Add water the minute you have the brown color to prevent the onions from burning.

Add tomatoes as soon as the onions brown

and the powder spices.

Add salt as per taste.

Keep mixing and moving the mixture in the wok/pan till the oil and tomato/onion paste leaves the oil on the sides of pan.

Keep adding water if mixture dries up before that.


Once this is done add the marinated chicken with the marinade, move it around in the mixture for a while.

Add water to this and cover , all the while the flame should be on low.


It should take about 30-45 min for the chicken to get done.Keep checking the chicken , and turning it over.
