1. Heat oil in a kadai and saute the green chilli-ginger-garlic paste and curry leaves till you get a nice aroma. Now add the onions and saute them till it turns translucent.

2. Add the tomatoes and  combine well. After 5minutes put  all spices one by one and dry roast them till it turns dark brown.

3. Now add the chicken pieces and saute for 5minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups of water and cook for 15minutes on low flame.
