Preparation Time: 30 mins
Cooking Time: 30 mins
Serves 4










Ingredients:

1 pound chicken
10 - 15 pearl onions
1 small onion
4-5 cloves of garlic
1/2 inch piece of ginger
4-5 dried red chillies
2 teaspoon Eastern Chicken Curry Masala
2 - 3 teaspoon pepper powder
1 cup thick coconut milk (I use canned)
1 teaspoon veg/olive oil

To Season:

3 -4 cloves
1 inch cinnamon stick
6-8 dried red chillies
2 sprigs of curry leaves
1 teaspoon of coconut oil (Optional)

Method:

Add Eastern Chicken Curry Masala to chicken and marinate for 30 mins. Grind garlic, ginger and dried red chillies to a fine paste.
Heat oil in a pan. Add pearl onions and onion to it and saute until it turns transparent. Add the Marinated chicken and salt to it.Cover and cook until it is half cooked. Add coconut milk to it. Cook until the gravy thickens and the chicken is completely cooked.
Heat another pan. Add coconut oil. Add all the items under 'To Season' section. Pour this into the curry.

Adding coconut oil gives the curry a nadan taste. It is optional and you can skip it if you don't like the taste of coconut oil.
