Ingredients:
For chicken gravy
• Chicken – 750 g (medium pieces)
• Onion masala – 1/2 cup
• Grated coconut – 1/2 cup
• Yogurt – 1 cup (whisked)
• Tomatoes – 3 medium (finely chopped)
• Ginger garlic paste – 1 tablespoon

• Red chili powder – 1 tablespoon
• Turmeric powder – 1/2 teaspoon
• Coriander powder – 1 teaspoon
• Garam masala – 1/2 teaspoon

Method:
1. Prepare the coconut paste:
First, lightly fry the grated coconut, then blend it into a smooth paste. Also, fry the chopped onions and blend them into a smooth paste. These pastes will make the curry creamy and rich.
2. Cook the chicken:
Wash the chicken pieces well. Place them in a heavy-bottom pan with salt, turmeric and ginger garlic paste. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, then turn off the heat.
3. Make the gravy base:
Heat oil in a kadhai or heavy bottom pan. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 5 to 6minutes until they become soft and the oil starts to separate. At this stage, add the coconut paste and onion paste, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Then add turmeric powder, garam masala and coriander powder and mix well.
Now add yogurt and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the oil separates again. Add the chicken and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Finally add fresh coriander and mix.

• Use fresh coconut — the fresher it is, the better the taste and aroma.
