For my family this chicken curry recipe is a taste of home! When not in a mood to look at recipes or just too rushed to bother, this recipe is the one I used to end up making.
Two things help this chicken curry rise above the ordinary. First, the fact that the chicken is sauteed with freshly chopped ginger and garlic, infusing it with a lovely aroma. Next, that it is gently simmered in a curry comprising of freshly roasted and powdered spices. Result: a wonderfully satisfying chicken curry! No wonder my family never had any complaints however often I made it!!!
If you are looking for a very simple but delicious Indian chicken curry then go for it!

Method: Wash the chicken well. Put onion, tomato and ginger garlic paste in a mixer and blend. Dry roast the spices and grind to a powder. Chop the ginger and garlic finely.
In a heavy bottom pan pour the oil and add chopped ginger, garlic and the chicken pieces. Fry the chicken lightly together with the ginger and garlic till it changes colour. Remove and keep aside.
In the same oil add the onion, tomato,ginger and galic paste, the spice powder and turmeric.
Saute till the oil separates from the masala.
Add the chicken pieces and stir till chicken and masala are well fried together.
Add salt and warm water and cover and cook on low flame till chicken is tender. Alternately, pressure cook till done.

In case you don't want to bother with making fresh spice powder mix then use a tsp each of coriander powder, cumin powder, all spice (garam masala)powder and 1/2 tsp red chilli powder.
