I just found this recipe by Komal the great, on our computer, I had saved it long back, and then made it once that time, it was just great!!! Her son Atharva is a real looker! I am going to soon post his picture on my blog.
I didnt add coconut as the recipe suggests, thats because I didnt have any that time.
Ingredients:
For 1 kg whole chicken,
few pieces of cinnamon stick,
1 tsp cloves,
1 tsp black pepper,
cilantro/ corriander leaves (dhania)- lots of it,
2 onions,
2 tomatoes,
green hot peppers, ( hari mirchi)
water, ghee/oil for cooking
salt as per taste
First grind the cinnamon stick, cloves, black pepper, green hot peppers, coconut, and cilantro with about 1/2 cup water. Heat the oil/ghee. Add the 2 onions chopped to this, then finally the tomatoes, fry well for sometime. Then add the ground paste to this and the chicken pieces. Add salt as per taste. Fry on medium high till you see oil seperated. Put water, get it to a boil, and then simmer and cook for sometime.
Serve hot with rice or pilaf.

Hey i know this is a gr8 dish…
one suggestion thou …
grind the coconut separately with all the spices and the corriander separately…. then while cooking add the coconut mixture first and cook the chicken…..
when the chicken is cooked…. in the end just add the corriander paste
this way the color of corriander will be retained…. if u cook the corriander too much it looses the bright green color….
