Dhaba chicken curry

1. Heat oil in a pan .Add the onions and gently saute for about 3-5 mins on medium heat, once they turn golden brown. Add the ginger garlic paste and cook it till the raw smell disappears. Now add the tomatoes and let it cook and become mushy.
Once it is all mushy add turmeric powder,chilli powder,coriander powder,cumin powder,garam masala powder, salt and saute till the oil separates.
Now add the chicken,mix well and cook with the masala for couple of mints.Then add 2.5 cups of water, cover and cook it for about 15-20 mins till the gravy thickens.Remove from fire.

2. In another pan heat ghee.Add the whole spices for tempering along with green chilli and ginger.When the spices splutter,remove from fire.Add this to the chicken curry.
Let it sit for 5 mints.Mix well before serving.

3. Notes: Punjabi garam masala is little different from what we usually make at home.So i just added 1/4 tspn nutmeg powder and 1/4 tspn dry ginger powder to 2 tblpsn usual garam masala powder that we use at home.From this I used just 1.5 tspn of powder for this dish.
