INGREDIENTS  MASALA CHICKEN:750 grams chicken,4 tablespoon mustard oil,2 cups chopped onion,1/2 cup minced tomato, salt as required,3 teaspoon coriander leaves,2 inches cinnamon stick,2 bay leaf,2 green cardamoms,1 black cardamom,1 teaspoon ginger paste,2 teaspoon garlic paste,2 teaspoon coriander powder,1 teaspoon powdered turmeric,1 cup water,2 teaspoons red chili powder,2 teaspoon cumin powder,2 green chilies,1 tablespoon garam masala powder,2 teaspoons kasoori

HOW TO MAKE MASALA CHICKEN: To make Masala Chicken, first thoroughly wash the chicken under running water. Now put it in some warm salted water and allow it to rest for 10 minutes and throw the water away and wash again. This helps to remove the smell of the chicken. Add oil and ghee to the pan and heat over medium flame. When the oil is hot enough, add bay leaves and both the cardamom and cinnamon. Saute for a minute and then add finely chopped onion into it. Cook till onions turn pink. Then add the ginger-garlic paste. Fry for a minute and then add chicken pieces to it. Cook chicken for 2-3 minutes until it turns white. Quickly, add red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric, cumin powder, and salt to taste. Stir to mix all the ingredients well with the chicken. Cook for a minute and then add finely chopped tomatoes and green chilies (slit and halved). Now reduce the flame and cook covered for 6-7 minutes and then uncovered till the chicken is browned. Add one cup of water and cover the pan with a lid and cook for 2-4 minutes until the chicken is tender and soft. Remove the lid and garnish with garam masala powder, coriander leaves, kasoori methi powder, and cook on high flame till the oil separates. Your Masala Chicken or Chicken Masala is ready.
