Now add the ginger-garlic spice paste,turmeric powder,Kashmir chili if using and cook it until the raw smell is gone and oil start to appear on sides.Cut the tomato in to small pieces and add with 1/2 tsp more salt.Mix and cover let it get cooked for another 4-5 minutes till tomato is mushed up and again oil comes on the surface.

Add the chicken along with the marinate and cook it on medium flame by stirring and cover for another 10 -12 minutes till you see every spice mixed up and turning a hue of brown.The best indicator again would be the oil surfacing on the top.

 At this stage add spice powder and 2 cups of warm water,crank the heat up,cover with a lid and pour little water on the top of the lid.I like to see oil separated in my chicken curries and this process ensures that no flavors is lost.Also the water on the lid will get warm which you can add to the curry if needed.Try not to add cold water to curries.

Cook for another 4-5 minutes.Mix check seasoning and take off the flame.Keep covered till you are ready to serve.This curry u if u want little tick boil for some more time.
chicken curry6
Serve with plain white rice or rotis or naans.To make things regal you can also make some pulao or parathas.
