Kadhai Murgh
1 kg chicken
7 Tbs Ghee (butter)
1 Tbs garlic paste, or equivalent cloves of garlic
8 whole red chiles, or less.
1 Tbs Coriander Seed
1 kg Tomato
4 green chilies (use jalepeno for milder)
1/4 cup fresh ginger
1/2 cup cilantro
2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp Kasoori Methi leaves (Fenugreek leaves)
Salt to taste.

Clean and remove skin from chicken pieces.

Wash and chop tomatoes (I use canned diced). Clean, deseed, and chop
green chilies. Scrape, wash, and chop ginger. Clean, wash,and chop
cilantro.

Pound garlic, red chilies and coriander with pestle, or processin coffee
mill.

Heat ghee (butter) in pot, add garlic/chilli/coriander paste and saute
for a minute. Add tomatoes, bring to boil. Add the chilies, 3/4 of the
ginger, 1/3 of the cilantro and chicken. Bring to boil, turn down to
simmer, stir occasionally. Simmer until gravy starts to thicken and
chicken is tender. Sprinkle on garam masala and kasoori methi, stir for
2 minutes. Add salt to taste.

To serve, garnish with remaining ginger and coriander.

Serves 4, takes about 20 minutes to cook.
