Ingredients

• Chicken- 2lbs (boneless, skinless and chopped/mashed)
• Onion- 4 (sliced)
• Tomato- 2 (chopped)

Procedure

Heat 1tbsp oil in a frying pan. Season with cumin seeds. When the seeds start to crackle, add the ginger garlic paste. Saute for few seconds on medium flame.
Add 2 onions and let it fry for few minutes (till it becomes pink in colour and looks tender).
Now add green chillies, and saute for a few seconds. Add tomatoes. Cook for few minutes till the tomatoes become tender.
Put the pan off flame. Let it cool. After that, blend it into a smooth paste. Keep it aside.
Heat the remaining oil in the same frying pan. Saute the 2 onions for a minute and then add chicken, turmeric powder. Sprinkle salt. Mix well and cook on medium flame for 5-10 minutes. The water that chicken oozes out should be evaporated to get a gravy like consistency.
Cook at short intervals to see if the chicken has turned brown or not. Once the chicken looks cooked, add garam masala, red chilli powder, kasoori meethi and tomato ketchup. Mix well.
Now add the blended masala into the pan and mix well. Cook for another one minute.
