Today I wanted to try something new. Was bored of eating same thing again and again. Searched for about half an hour. Then I found this one. I felt it is too simple to do and tried it. It was great.

Recently I have been trying my luck with chicken dishes as well. When I was preparing this one, I thought it might not come well. But the end result was good. Our guest for that day, who was a hard-core non-vegetarian, liked it very much.

Method: Heat ghee/oil and fry finely chopped onions and ginger-garlic paste till onions turn slightly brownish. Add chicken pieces and all other ingredients (except coriander leaves). Cover and cook till water is absorbed and chicken is cooked thoroughly. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.
