Steps
: First lets marinate chicken. Add salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, ginger garlic green chili and coriander paste and yoghurt to whole chicken and give it a good mix with your clean hands. Keep the chicken aside to marinate for at least 30 mins.
:Then in a pan or kadhai, heat up oil. Once heated, add coriander seeds, black peppercorns, cloves, star anise petals, fennel seeds, nutmeg, cinnamon stick, turmeric powder, dried red chilies and garlic cloves and roast the spices at medium flame until you get a good aroma of spices. Then add chopped onions and saute the onions until they turn soft.
: Add turmeric powder and roast the spices in order to prevent turmeric powder from sticking to the base of the pan. Roast for a minute and then add fresh grated coconut.
:Coconut needs to be roasted until you start to get a good aroma of coconut and coco ut turns golden brown in color.
:Turn off the flame and let the masala cool down before grinding.
:Once cooled, add in the roasted masala along with tamarind and water and grind to a fine paste.
:Then heat up a kadhai and add oil. once the oil is hot, add chopped onions and saute until they turn soft and golden brown. Now add in the marinated chicken. Place a lid onto the kadhai and lower the flame to low medium and let the chicken cook for around 8-10mins.
:You can check if the chicken is cooked by simply piercing a knife into the center of one of the pieces.
:Once the chicken is cooked, add in the prepared masala along with some water to adjust the consistency of the gravy.
:Add in salt and give it a good mix. Place a lid and let the gravy come to a boil.
: At last add finely chopped coriander and turn off the flame.
