2 bay leaves, 3-4 cinnamon sticks, 2/3 whole red chillies
Red chilli (2 tbsp), turmeric (2 tsp), coriander/cumin (1 tbsp), garam masala powder as per taste
salt
some cashews (optional)
Preparation
1. Fry onions, red chillies, cinnamon, bay leaves, cashews till onions are golden brown. Let this cool & grind into a paste.
2. Add some oil to a pan & add the paste from step 1.
3. Let it simmer for 5 mins & add all the tomatoes. Let it cook for 5 mins & add all the dry masalas. Let the masalas cook for 2 mins & add chicken to this gravy.
