How to prepare the Chicken Curry?
Fry the grated coconut in a fry pan, till they are golden brown in colour. Use very little oil since as you fry you will see oil coming out of the coconut as well.
Grind together fried grated coconut, coriander powder, cinnamon, cloves, onions, garlic, ginger, red chillie powder and coriander leaves to a fine paste. Sprinkle a little water if needed , while grinding

Remove the masala from the mixie, rinse the blender with a little water and keep the water aside.

In a pan heat 2 tsps oil and fry onions till brown.

Add the chicken pieces, chopped tomatoes, salt to taste and stir on low fire for about 10 minutes. Then add the ground masala to the chicken with the water kept aside

Cook till the gravy thickens.

Points to note while making the chicken curry
The masala should be thick enough to coat the chicken pieces. Serve with Rotis and Chappathies.
If you cannot find small onions 2 tsps of the chopped onions can be used.
