Karahi Chicken




Ingredients:
1 lb. chicken cut in 1-inch pieces
2 tbsp roasted cumin seed (I heated cumin seed in a pan and crush it before adding)
1 tbsp coriander seeds roasted and crushed
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp kasuri methi
2 tbsp ginger garlic paste
1 tbsp kashmiri chili powder
4 jalapenos
5 roma tomatoes
Salt to taste
1/3 cup oil
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup warm water
Few strands of ginger

Directions:
In a pan roast cumin and coriander seeds and coarsely grind it. 
Heat oil in a deep pan or wok and then add chicken pieces. Cook it till the chicken changes color to brown. Then add ginger garlic paste, salt and green chili . Cook for 3-5 mins (at this point check the spice and add more chilies if you prefer spicy.) Then add the tomatoes and 1 cup warm water and cook till the skin of tomatoes peel off.  With a fork take out the tomato skin. Then add the roaster cumin powder and coriander seeds, black pepper, kashmiri chili powder and kasuri methi. If the gravy gets dry add 1/4 cup warm water. Cook for few minutes and then add the strands of ginger julienne and sliced jalapenos before serving (adding cilantro is optional).
