Equipment

  • Pressure cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoon Coconut Oil
  • 2 teaspoon Fennel Seeds
  • 2 large Onions peeled & sliced thinly
  • 3 tablespoon Ginger Garlic Paste
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • 2 tablespoon Kashmiri Chilli Powder
  • 2 teaspoon Garam Masala Powder
  • 4 medium Tomatoes chopped finely
  • 1 sprig Curry leaves
  • 500 grams Chicken bone-in
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Take a pressure cooker and heat oil in it. Add in fennel seeds and let it crack. Add in onions and saute for 5 mins. Add in ginger garlic paste and mix well. Now add in salt and all the spice powders and mix well.
  • Add in tomatoes and curry leaves and cook till the tomatoes turn mushy. Add in chicken pieces and toss well in the masala.
  • Now cover the pressure cooker and let it cook for 1 whistle. Now lower the flame and cook for 15 mins on a low flame. Switch off the flame and let the pressure go all by itself. Open the pressure cooker and add coriander leaves and mix well. Serve with rice or roti.

Notes

  • Use bone-in chicken for best flavour. You can use boneless as well. But make sure to use chicken thigh. Since chicken breast tends to get stringy soon.
  • Readymade chicken masala can be used for this curry.
  • This curry doesn't use coconut so make sure to cook the onions and tomatoes to form the base.
  • ½ cup of coconut milk can be used in the end.
