Ingredients

 Whole chicken1
 Yellow onions2 Medium, chopped
 Garlic4 Clove (5gm), minced
 Ginger2 Inch, minced
 Tomatoes2 , chopped
 1 tsp. yellow mustard seeds
 Cumin seeds1 Teaspoon
 Turmeric1 Teaspoon
 Cinnamon3 Inch
 Chicken stock2 Cup (16 tbs)
 Curry powder2 Tablespoon
 Garam masala1 Teaspoon
 Salt1 Tablespoon

Directions

Cut the chicken into pieces and brown in oil. Remove and add chopped onion. Saute until tender. Add garlic and ginger, make sure there is enough oil so that nothing sticks. Add cumin and mustard seed. Fry until the mustard seeds begin to "pop". Add the turmeric and curry powder and stir constantly to prevent any sticking. Stir the "paste" until the curry powder becomes fragrant; this usually takes 1 to 2 minutes (be careful not to burn the curry powder). Add the chopped tomatoes and stir until they form a sauce (3-4 minutes). Add the chicken broth, cinnamon stick and chicken. Cover and simmer until chicken is cooked. Stir in the gharaum masala garnish with chopped fresh celantro leavs and serve with white rice.

I tried this recipe three times. The taste was excellent consistently. A difficulty is just after browning the chicken. The things tend to stick. Also if the oil needs to be changed or the same oil( which is diluted due to chicken addition) can be reused. Any case, it is a good recipe and worth trying. Here the curry powder is chicken curry powder.

yes. We do taht all the time. We also omit the mustard seeds and add green cardamoms instead. Gives the curry an exotic fragrance and flavor.

Tastes better if you add some salt, spices, and top it with cilantro.
