INSTRUCTIONS
Put the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, cinnamon,
cloves, peppercorns, nutmeg and red chili in a small frying pan.
Place over a medium flame. Now quickly 'dry-roast' the spices,
stirring them frequently until they emit a very pleasant 'roasted'
aroma. Empty the spices into a clean coffee grinder or spice grinder
and grind until fine. Put spiced in bowl. Put the coconut into the
same frying pan and dry roast it over a medium flame, stirring all the
time. The coconut should pick up lots of brown flecks and also smell
roasted. Put the coconut in the bowl with the other dry roasted
spices. Put the garlic, ginger, and green chili into the container of
an electric blender, along with some water. Blend until you have a
paste. Heat the oil in a 10-12 inch frying pan or saute pan over a
medium high flame. When hot put in the onions. Stir and fry them until
they pick up brown spots. Now pour in the garlic-ginger mixture and
stir once. Turn heat to medium. Put in the chicken pieces, salt, as
well as the spice coconut mixture in the bowl. Stir and fry the
chicken for 3-4 minutes or until it loses its pinkness and turn heat
to low, and cook for 25 to 30 minutes or until chicken is tender. Stir
a few times during this cooking period, making sure that you turn over
each piece of chicken so that it gets evenly colored. From Gemini's

“We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed! #A.J. Gossip”
