2 large boneless chicken breasts, diced into 1-inch cubes 1 large onion, finely chopped 2 medium-sized tomatoes, finely chopped 2-3 green chillies, finely chopped 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste 1/2 cup plain non fat yoghurt, beaten 1 cinnamon stick 3-4 cardamom pods, bruised 3-4 whole cloves 1-2 dried bay leaves 4-5 whole black peppercorns 1/2 tsp red chilli powder 1/4 tsp turmeric powder 1 tsp coriander powder 1/4 tsp cumin powder 1/4 tsp garam masala powder salt, to taste 2 tbsp light cooking oil a handful fresh coriander leaves, chopped for garnish
HEAT oil in a thick-bottomed pan and saute cardamom, peppercorns, bay leaves, cinnamon stick and cloves, till they begin to sizzle. Add onions and green chillies, and fry for 3-5 minutes on medium-high heat till onions turn pink and tender. Add ginger-garlic paste and saute for another minute or two till it gives out oil.

This meal was spectacular! I didn't have cardamom pods and looked up a substitute. The substitute just repeated the ingredients that were already listed. But it turned out very tasty. My 7 yr old loved it & she has never had Indian food before. This recipe will definitely be in my favorites. - 1/3/10

very good curry...the way curry is supposed to be. If it doesn't have a lot of spices listed in the ingredients its not real curry. Getting used to cooking with yogurt though...my husband likes curry made with coconut milk (he's malay)- but too fattening! This is just as good though. Thanks! - 1/4/08

Mmmmm--Mmmmmm-Mmmmmm! Loved it! (I didn't have the g masala powder, and am not sure what that might have added, but it was excellent even without it.) Thanks for this new recipe! :)
My son took the leftovers to work for lunch today, and a co-worker begged for the recipe--based on the smell alone!:) - 7/10/07
