2. Add the diced onions to the haandi and fry for 3-5 minutes until soft and golden brown.
3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the ginger, garlic, chilli powder, ground coriander, 600 ml (1 pint) of the water and the salt. Cover the haandi with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes until the onions are soft and the water is partly absorbed. Remove the lid, add the chicken pieces and stir-fry to coat all the chicken pieces.
4. Add the remaining water, cover with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked right through.
5. Remove the lid and stir-fry gently for about 5 minutes.
6. Serve hot from the haandi, garnished with fresh coriander and mint, the reserved baby onions, chillies and the curry leaves. Rice or Chapati go well with this dish.
