Perfect Indian Style Chicken Curry

2.2 lb/ 1 kg chicken on bones. Please note that I preferably use chicken on bones for making a chicken curry. It's not that you cannot use boneless chicken but the gravy won't be as tasty.

1 very large onion or 2 medium sized onions. I used quarter of the onion for making a paste.

2 inch length ginger

10 large garlic cloves

1 large tomato

2 green chillies (optional)

2 large dry bay leaf

1 inch length cinnamon stick

6 to 7 green cardamoms

4 to 5 cloves

¼ th cup plain unflavored yogurt

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

2 heaped teaspoons Kashmiri red chilli powder. You can even use regular red chilli powder but in that case please use less. Adjust the proportion of any chilli powder according to your tolerance of heat level.

1 tablespoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon garam masala powder.If you want to make garam masala powder at home then here is the recipe - youtu.be/ciR43perZbU

¼ th teaspoon ground mace (optional)

¼ th teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

2 teaspoons salt (add less to start with, you can always add later)

1 teaspoon sugar

1 cup hot water. You can go up to a total of 1 & ½ cups of hot water if you want more gravy.

¼th cup oil ( 4 to 5 tablespoons)

Serve this with rice/roti/paratha/naan.
