How to make Healthy Chicken Curry

Take a pan and put 2 tsp oil. Not too much cause there will be Saffola oil coming out of chicken as well
Now add onion cut in long slices, cinnamon, tej pata, cardamom, garlic paste. Saute all this in oil nicely till the onion gets little brown
Get off the gas and let the onions cool. Once they are little cool, churn / blend all this with chopped tomatoes and the curd / yogurt till you have a smooth paste
Note: Do not wash the pan in which onion was cooked before and let the left over oil of onions be in the pan
Now take the earlier pan and saute chicken in left over oil of onion
After chicken is almost done, add the onion, tomato/curd/Carrot puree paste with chicken and cook
Add salt to taste, red chilli, coriander powder, haldi, green chillies
Finally let chicken get cook until the oil comes out and starts floating on the top
The color of the tomatoes should change to a nice red by now
Garnish it with coriander before serving
