Preparation of Chicken curry
Before you start make chicken curry, make a paste with cumin seed, clove, cinnamon, fennel seed, ginger and garlic in a grinder or crush them all well.
Take a thick-bottomed Kadai / pan.
Pour 2-3 tbsp of cooking oil into it and it heats well. When the oil heated up, add cumin seed one stalk of curry leaves into it and saute it well

When the tomatoes are mashed up well in the onion masala, turn the flame into low. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, Kashmiri chili powder, and coriander powder into it
Finally, add the garam masala
