If this is your first attempt at cooking, best wishes to you and I hope this starts a new culinary journey for you. Ingredients 1kg chicken cut into medium pieces 1 large onion finely sliced 3 potatoes cut into halves 2 large tomatoes cut into quarters 1tbsp. ginger paste 1tbsp. garlic paste 1 tsp. turmeric powder 1 tbsp. chili powder 1 tsp. Bengali garam masala powder 4-5 tbsp. of mustard oil 2,3 bay leaves Whole garam masala (1 cinnamon, 2 cardamom, 4 cloves ) Salt to taste 1tsp. sugar Procedure Heat mustard oil till it smokes. Fry potato halves on medium heat till they turn golden yellow. Remove and keep aside. Add sugar to it. Wait till it melts. This will give your gravy a vibrant red color. Immediately add bay leaves and whole garam masala. As soon as you get the aroma of garam masala, add onion slices to it and fry on low heat till they become light brown. You need lots of patience for frying onion till this level (around 15-20mins on low heat) so that when later you add water or wet masala to it, the onions should dissolve in it. Add chicken pieces and fry on high heat till it looses its raw pink color.Add ginger garlic paste along with dry spice powder ( turmeric + chili ).Mix well and cook it covered for 5 mins. Next add tomato. Let it soften before you press it down with the back of spatula. Cook it covered for another 5 mins. Add fried potato pieces along with 2 cups of warm water. Cook it covered on medium heat till potato and chicken are done. Sprinkle garam masala powder and serve with hot rice.
