Karahi Chicken !!!

Here is the mouth watering Chicken for people who love Indian food.
karahi Chicken is special item in Menus of Punjabi Dhabas in Northern India.
Here is my recipe .
Ingredients -
1kg chicken cut into regular pieces .
4-5 pureed tamotoes .
3-4 onions sliced .
1/2 cup ginger +garlic paste .

Khara masala(4-5 cloves,1 cinnamon sticks ,1 moti elaichi ,2-3 bayleaf ,4-5 whole black pepper seeds ,1/2tsp coriander seeds ...grind cloves,cinnamon stick,black pepper ,coriander seeds.
Use the oil that you prefer....I prefer Mustard oil .
Let the mustard oil simmer till it looses the strong flavour .Add bayleaf ,Moti elaichi to it and grinded masala then add sliced onion and ginger-garlic paste to it.Take out half of the browned onions along with Bayleaf and Moti elaichi ....keep it aside.Rest of the mixture puree it along with tomatoes .And put it the pan to simmer again .Saute it till it starts loosing oil then add chicken pieces ....again saute ...saute it till chicken starts cooking ...Now Add 1/2 tsp Chilli powder ,Salt according to taste and 1/2 tsp turmeric .
Once you see Chicken partially cooked loosing oil add water to it as much as you want the gravy to be .Cover it or if you want to speed up the process put it in pressure cooker and give 2 -3 whistles .
Take out the steam now let it cook till you see nice color gravy add the onions with bayleaf to it they will help to enhance the aroma of the dish .Also add chopped Cilantro and mint leaves to it .
You have nice flavored karahi chicken ready .
