Tried to cook a new dish so settled for this Chicken Salna using chicken which is famous in Tamil Nadu normally served with parata, idli, dosa or even briyani. The amount of spices used have been modified to suit my taste so adjust accordingly.

1 lb (500 g) chicken pieces
2 onions chopped
2 tomatoes chopped
2 green chili
2 teaspoons chili powder
3 teaspoons coriander powder
1 teaspoon ginger paste
1 teaspoon garlic paste
1 inch cinnamon
3 cloves
3 cardamons
curry leaves
coriander leaves
salt to taste
lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
ROAST AND GROUND
1/2 cup grated coconut
2 teaspoons black peppercorn
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon fennel seed
METHOD
1. Wash and marinate chicken with lemon juice, salt and turmeric powder.
2. Heat the oil, add cinnamon, cardamom and clove, fry until fragrant.
3. Add onion, ginger, garlic and curry leaf, fry until slightly brown.
4. Add tomato, chili powder, coriander powder, salt and little water, cook until tomato turns soft.
5. Now add ground spices and green chili, let it boils. Pour in chicken, stir until well coated with spices, add water and cover pot.
6. Cook until chicken is tender, remove from heat.
7. Garnish with coriander leaves.
