1 medium onion, chopped
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1/2 tsp ginger paste
1/2 tsp garlic paste
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 cup yogurt
2 dry red chillies
2 green chillies, chopped
1/4 tsp kalonji
1/4 tsp mustard (rai) seeds

Fresh coriander for garnishing
Salt to taste
1/2 cup water
1+1 tbsp oil
Directions
In a pan, dry roast the kalonji, cumin, fenugreek, mustard, and fennel seeds. Put them in a grinder and make a fine powder. Keep aside.
In another pan, heat 1 tbsp oil and add the chopped onions and fry till translucent. Add the red and green chillies and half of the powdered masala. Fry till everything gets a good stir and the onions turn golden brown. Remove the onions from the pan and keep aside. In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Once the oil is hot, add the ginger garlic paste and give it a light stir. Next add the chopped tomatoes and fry till they get a little smashed. Add the yogurt, the remaining masala, turmeric powder, and salt. Tip in the chicken pieces. Mix everything together and add 1/2 cup water. Cover and simmer the gas till the chicken gets tender and cooked, while stirring occasionally. Lastly, add the fried onions and mix everything well. Cover and cook for another 3-5 minutes. Add the coriander and remove from heat. Your Achaari Chicken is ready to be relished with roti/rice. Enjoy!
