How to Make Spicy Chicken in Onion Paste

• Marination:
• Wash the chicken (cut into small size or medium size), slit it with a knife or just make holes into the chicken pieces with the help of fork, so that the marinate goes into the flesh.
• Now take a big dish, put the washed chicken, all the above ingredients, mix well and set aside for 1 hour at least.
• For the paste:
• Slice the onions into rounds, boil in just enough of water for the onions to get submerged along with bay leaves and cardamoms.
• Let it boil till the onions colour changes to slight transparent.
• Take out excess water, let it cool and blend into thin paste in a blender.
• Take a heavy bottom non-stick dish, heat oil add one or 2 small bay leaves, 2 cloves, 1 cardamom, 2 to 3 cinnamon sticks.
• Stir for 1 minute and then add the onion paste.
• Keep stirring for a minute or so and then add 1/2 tsp ginger-garlic paste.
• Add a pinch of salt, chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder and then stir.
• Let the onion cook till the oil separates, say around 3-4 mins on medium flame.
• When the oil separates from the onions, add the marinated chicken and stir for some time.
• Let it cook for 10-15 mins, keep on stirring in between. When the chicken is 3/4th cooked, add a cup of water (optional: if you want a bit of gravy otherwise no need of adding water).
• Stir for sometime and check for the salt. When the chicken is cooked take it out off the flame.
• Garnish with coriander and serve.
