At the beginning,take a heavy bottomed pan to shallow fry the chicken pieces and in that heated mustard oil/ghee ,we will add bay leaf  and red chillies .Coriander ,cumin and fennels' semi ground paste is later added to it.Now add on chopped onions and fry until golden brown.Once done add ginger garlic paste and give a stir fry for 3-4 minutes.Tomato puree and chilly paste is the next addition to make a thick gravy for our desi chicken .Fry till it releases all the oil.The next step follows adding all the chicken pieces..Cover and cook till pieces become moist..add a little water.That's it.
