Dhabha style chicken

ALL YOU NEED

1 whole chicken 

1 medium onion sliced

4-5 tomatoes chopped

2 tbsp garlic paste and ginger paste each

3-4 green chillies chopped/sliced

2 tbsp desi ghee

1 tsp cumin seeds

salt to taste

1 tbsp garam masala

cilantro for garnish

METHOD:

Heat ghee in a pan/kadhai and add cumin seed with onions.. cook till translucent

add garlic, ginger and green chillies...

Add the tomatoes...

You can add garam masala now, close the lid, open after 3-4 mins and mix everything...

Add the whole chicken and let this cook and cook and cook... 

The trick to get a dhabha style chicken is to cook the masala... I literally cooked it for 20-30 mins or until the oil separated...  

Make sure the chicken cooks well...

I personally didn't want any curry, so I cooked it until it was just the masala...

When done, garnish with Cilantro and it's ready to be served...
