Spicy Manglore Chicken Curry

Though I'm a vegetarian, my hubby loves non veg. This is one of his favorite dish which my mother in law makes. Almost every Sunday this chicken curry and Ghee Rice will be the menu in Chennai... but here i don't cook this that often though.. But once in a while i make this to make to bring a bright smile on his face... By now i have made this 2-3 times but every time he will say something is missing or more.. but last time when i made he said it came out so perfectly. And the same taste as my mother-in-law makes.... He was so impressed and i was so excited... Its very simple to make, but the right quantity of ingredients gives that flavour and taste.

Chicken - 500 gm
Onion Big size - 1 (Sliced)
Tomato Big size - 1

2. In a pan, add 2 tsp of oil and saute the onion, coconut. After 2 mins, add the red chilli, corriander seeds and khus khus and saute for 5 mins.

3. In a mixer, grind the sauteed masala. Add tomato and ginger garlic paste to it and grind it to a smooth paste. Add salt to it so that it blends well.
