This is one of the first chicken curries that I ever made, and my spouse loves it. :) It is so easy to make, with the least amount of work, but a whole lot of taste.

3 tbsp tomato paste
large pinch of kasuri methi ( dried fenugreek)
1/4 tsp ground fennel seeds
1 tsp ginger, grated
1 1/2 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp garlic, crushed
1 tsp red chilli powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
2 tbsp lemon juice
salt, to taste
1 1/4 cups of water
3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 onions, diced
curry leaves
2 green chillies, chopped
fresh coriander leaves, chopped

Preparation

Cut the chicken into cubes.
Mix the tomato paste, kasuri methi, fennel,ginger, coriander powder,garlic,chilli powder,turmeric powder, lemon juice, salt and water in a bowl.
Heat the oil in a large pan, and fry the onions with the curry leaves until the onions are golden.
Add the chicken and stir for a minute.
Pour the tomato paste and spice mixture into the pan. Stir for 2 minutes, mixing well.
Lower the heat and cook for 8-10 minutes. Add the chillies and fresh coriander.

Serve hot. Enjoy!! :)
