Ingredients

1 kg boneless chicken skin removed
Juice of 1 lime
Salt to taste
1 tsp red chilli powder (adjust to suit your taste)
1 cup fresh yoghurt (must not be sour)
2 tsps garam masala
2 tsps coriander powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
8-10 peppercorns
6 cloves
1"
stick of cinnamon
Seeds from 3-4 pods of cardamom
2 bay leaves
8-10 almonds (For a richer smoother taste you can add a couple of tsps of Almond powder)
2 onions chopped
2 tsps garlic paste
1 tsp ginger paste
1/2 litre chicken stock
3 tbsps vegetable oil or whatever oil you prefer
3 tbsps butter
Salt to taste
Coriander leaves to garnish


Method

Cut chicken pieces and mix the chicken, lime juice, salt and red chilli powder in a bowl and allow to marinate for 1 hour.
Roast the cloves, peppercorns, cinnamon, cardamom, bay leaves and almonds till they darken slightly and then grind into a coarse powder.
Mix the yoghurt, whole spice powder and all the other spices together and add them to the chicken.
Allow to marinate for another hour.
Heat the oil in a pan and add the onions. Fry till golden brown and then add the ginger and garlic pastes. Fry for a minute.
Add only the chicken from the chicken-spice mix and fry till sealed (chicken will turn opaque).
Now add the chicken stock and remaining part of the mix to the chicken.
Cook till the chicken is done and the gravy is reduced to half its original volume.
Melt the butter and pour it over the chicken.
Garnish with coriander leaves and serve with naans and Kaali Daal.

Done!

Nets could I use coconut instead of Almond

I would like to know that to as I don't like almond so come on nets lets have your thoughts.

By the look of it you can put what you like in it as it is going to taste just super anyway

You can use either or neither if its to your taste really with |Indian food its more a matter of doing your own thing sometimes and then testing it out on your friends to get some feedback. Food is a science so don't be afraid to experiment with any foods.
