INSTRUCTIONS

1. Finely chop the onions in a food processor. Set aside in a separate
bowl. Without rinsing the workbowl, mince garlic, ginger and chillies
together in the food processor and set aside in a separate bowl. Again
without rinsing the workbowl, puree the tomatoes and set aside.
2. Heat oil in a large saucepan and add onions. Brown over medium-high
heat, stirring frequently, until they turn a deep red-brown in colour,
about 12 to 14 minutes. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of hot water, as
needed, to arrest browning and to make a paste.
3. Add the garlic mixture and saute for a minute, adding a little more
water if needed to prevent sticking.
4. Add all the whole and ground spices and continue to brown for
another 2-3 minutes.
5. Add the pureed tomatoes and their juices and cook through until the
solids separate from the oil, about 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently.
This paste is called a "masala".
6. Add the chicken pieces and brown well on medium-high heat, about 5
minutes. Add the salt and about 1/3 cup hot water. Cover and simmer
for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Add a
little more hot water if needed during cooking. The curry should have
the consistency of thick gravy.
7. Serve on a warm platter, garnished with chopped coriander.
