Preparation
Step 1
This rich gravy is a crowd pleaser at any party. I have also toned down the spice level so its suitable for children. You can add chilli powder or green chillies if you wish to increase the potency.
1 tsp Shan's achari powder (achari in hindi means pickle which is a mix of fennel, nigella seeds, fenugreek leaves, chilli, coriander, black pepper, ginger, cardamom, cumin, cinnamon, bayleaf, etc.)
Note: If you do not have achari powder, you can substitute it with this combination. I have added a few of the "must add" parts of the achari powder.
Heat oil in a casserole. Add the onion paste, salt and ginger garlic paste. Cook till the onions till they are a nice golden colour but not overly brown. Add the tomato paste and spice powders and cook for a bit. Now add the yoghurt and cook further till you get a nice thick sauce.
Add the chicken and cook till the chicken gets a nice colour. Add some water about 1/2 a cup if you would like the gravy to be thinner. Cover and cook till the chicken is tender. Stir in the cream and cook for a bit longer.
