KALONJI MURG (Chicken with onion seeds)

This chicken curry is a combination of wonderful flavors along with it's awesome taste. I have used very common ingredients as tempering for this chicken preparation that has enhanced itss taste to a great extent.

INGREDIENTS

Chicken-250 gm
Onion-2 chopped
Ginger julienne-1 tbsp
Thick Green chilli-3 
Garlic paste-2 tsp
Tomato-1 chopped
Pepper powder-1 tsp
Turmeric powder-1/2 tsp
Tomato puree- 1/2 cup
Red chilli powder-1/4 tsp
Onion seeds-1 tsp (kalonji)
Clarified butter/ ghee- 1 tbsp (increase/ decrease accordingly)

METHOD

This preparation tastes better when cooked entirely in ghee but due to health reasons, I have used ghee only for tempering. This also wont put the taste down.
In a pan, take refined oil and put the julienne ginger, and fry till the ginger starts emanating smell. Then put the whole thick green chilli. Go on adding onion, garlic paste and then the chicken. Cook well. Add pepper powder followed by tomato puree, turmeric powder and red chilli powder. Cook well by adding water as per requirement. When the chicken becomes soft and the gravy attains the required consistency, turn off the flame. Now in another pan, take ghee and put the kalonji as tempering. Wait till it starts spluttering. Put the tempered ghee on the cooked chicken and cover it with a lid so that the flavors get passed into the chicken. Serve hot with roti or parantha.
