4 ounces yoghurt
2 pieces onions, finely grated & ground 
1 slice (1-inch) ginger, grated
6 cloves garlic
3 teaspoons cumin powder

Preparation

1 Marinate chicken 4 hours with yoghurt, ground ingredients, crushed black pepper, sugar, and salt. 2 Heat butter or oil over medium heat, lightly fry cinnamon and cardamom one minute. Add sliced onions and stir-fry until light brown. Add chicken, stir 10 minutes, cover, reduce heat, and simmer. 3 When chicken is half-cooked, spread green chiles on top so that the chicken is completely covered. Sprinkle lime juice over the chiles. Re-cover and cook over very low heat until chicken is tender. 4 Remove from heat when very little gravy remains. 5 Serve chicken with chiles on top. 6 Serve with chapati or steamed rice.
