Roast in a dry pan Cumin & coriander seeds until fragrant and slightly brown by frequent tossing the pan.Be careful ,we don't want to burn it.Grind them coarsely in a mortar & pestle or grinder.

Method

1. Cut & wash chicken.We want skinless pieces.
2. Heat oil in a wok on medium heat.Add the chicken pieces and saute for 3-4 mins or till slightly done.
3. Add garlic cloves.
4. Add all the spices except black pepper & cumin-coriander mixture.Saute until the spices starts to release oil,for around 3-4 minutes.
5. Add tomatoes and cover the wok.let it cook for another 5-8 mins,or till the tomatoes dissolve.
6. Once the tomatoes get dissolved.Check the consistency , if u like little more gravy, add 1/4-1/2 cup of hot water.This gravy is slightly thick as it coats the chicken.
7. Add black pepper & mix it.Then add cumin-coriander spice mixture that we had prepared earlier.
8. Cook for another 2-3 mins.
9. Dish out and garnish with cilantro.

• You can reduce the amount of red pepper powder & red fry pepper according to you taste.But this dish is suppose to be a little spicy.
• You must have noticed that in the images above the oil seems to be quite a lot,but actually i had ended up adding oil twice..since i was in a gr8 hurry(as usual)..But i had drained the excess oil before serving.:D
