Ingredients

• 2 chicken legs (whole)
• 3 tsp chilli powder
• 1 tsp haldi (turmeric) powder
• 1 tsp dhania powder
• 1 tsp jeera powder
• 1 spoon garlic paste or 4-5 garlic pods crushed
• 3-4 small tomatoes
• a handful of french beans(optional)
• salt to taste
• a loaf of fresh bread of your choice

Method

• Rub the salt and a little garlic paste into the chicken, and leave for 10 mins.
• To save on cooking time, dump the chicken and (whole) beans into the cooker with some water and cook for 5-7 mins. after the whistle.
• Once cooked, mix the spices and garlic paste all together. (You can use other curry masalas, instead of these spices for variety.)
• Remove the chicken from its soup and keep aside to cool and dry for a few mins.
• Once dry, rub the spicy mixture into the chicken.
• Remove and keep aside the french beans to serve as they are.
• Chop the tomatoes into quarters and fry them in oil.
• Once softened, add the chicken and fry thoroughly.
• Serve the chicken on a plate with the french beans on the side, with chunks of fresh bread.

Tip: You can either add some of the chicken stock to the dish while frying if you want a little gravy, or else, drink it as a light soup before the meal. Add a soup cube if necessary.
