Garlic Methi Chicken

Ingredients
Chicken - 700 to 800 gms (cut in to medium sized peices)
Yoghurt - 200 gms
Garlic paste - 3 tablespoons
Red chilli flake - 1 teaspoon (adjust according to personal preference)
Kasuri Methi (dry fenugreek leaves) - 2 tablespoons
Onion - 2 medium sized (sliced fine)
Green Chillies - 2-3 slit into half (adjust according to personal preference)
Garam Masala - 1 Bay leaf, 2 Cardamoms, 4 Clove, 1 inch peice Cinamom
Oil - 2 tablespoons
Coriander leaves - for granishing (optional)

Method
Mix together the yoghurt, garlic paste, kasuri methi and red chilly flakes. Marinate the chicken in this for atleast 1 hour (longer if possible)

Heat oil in a pan or kadhai. Add the gram masala, then the onions and green chillies. Add salt as per taste. Fry till the onions turn light brown.

Add the chicken along with the marinade and stir fry till the chicken changes colour. Then cover cooked (stir occasionally). Add a little water if needed (use as little water as possible). Garnish with coriander leave before serving.

Variation
You can uses 2 table spoons of tomato puree in the marinade. Use ghee or butter to fry the onions. (turns out kind of like a butter chicken preparation).
