Chicken Tikka Masala - with yogurt marinated chicken.

Ingredients:

        1 tea spoon fenugreek seeds
        1+1 tea spoon Turmeric
        1+1 tea spoon 'red chilli' powder
        2+2 table spoon fine grounded masala (mix of spices) - take any 'chicken tikka masala' pack from Tesco.
        2 table spoon oil  - sunflower or olive as you like. Do not use vegetable oil or any other.
       
        2 tea spoon salt
        500g yogurt.
        2 tomatos.
        4 garlic buds (pieces)
Procedure

        [1]
        Marinate chicken in yogurtby mixing 1 tea spoon turmeric, 1 table spoon find grounded masala and                 1 tea spoon red chilli powder. Mix well so that all chicken pieces are immersed in the 'spicy'
        yogurt.
        Leave for min 30 mins.
        [2]
        * Cut the 2 hot green chilles into small pieces.
        * Cut the 2 tomatos into small pieces.
        * cut garlic into small pieces.
        [3]
        * Take a pan.
        * Add 2 tablespoon oil. let it heat a bit may be 2 mins on full gas. (oh yes and switch on gas before this)
        * Add 1 tea spoon fenugreek seeds and 1 tea spoon coriander seeds          
        * Within 4-5 seconds (if oil is really hot) add cut green chillies and cut garlic.
        * Mix for 10 secs or so (again if oil is hot)
        * Add 1 tea spoon turmeric to this and mix for 4-5 secs.
        * Add 2 table spoon fine grounded masala and 1 tea spoon red chillin powder and mix for 5-10 secs.
        * This will not look like a dry mix of spice - lower the gas to medium flame now.
        * Add tomatos and mix really well. Let tomatos kind of melt.
        * Now add the marinated chicken slowly. And mix really well to form a uniform mixture.
        * Increase gas to full and let this boil now for at least 15-20 mins .
                * Occassionally you would need to stir as the mixture may boil and try to come out of pan.
         (You can do this in pressure cooker and you would just need to cook until 3 whistles of cooker)
        * Check now if the chicken is cooked. Use a fork to poke in it and see if it is soft and not like rubber.
        * If chicken is cooked, your curry is ready. Add salt to taste - typically 2 tea spoons for this much mixture.
       
        Eat with rice of bread/nan/chapati etc.
