Dhaba style chicken curry step by step

1. Clean and wash the chicken..
2. In a pan heat oil and add bay leaves, cumin seeds, cinnamon and moti elaichi to it. When they start to crackle add onion and saute it for 3-4 minutes. Add tomato and saute it for 2-3 minutes. When the oil starts to separate stir in the spices..
3. Mix well, added spices will not only release a great aroma it will also. Stir in the beaten curd. Adding curd will make you loose that rich red colour for a while but don't worry it will come back again. Saute on a low flame till the curd blends in the gravy and the oil separates - dark rich colour returns..
4. Time to move in the chicken pieces. Drop and mix well until they are coated with gravy. Add water and give it a good stir. Gravy will become liquidy, no worries..
