I began the whole process by marinating the chicken with some ginger and garlic paste and chicken masala for about 8ish hrs

When I was ready to cook, I chopped up onions, and diced 3 tomatoes

You really don't have to marinate the chicken before making chicken curry, but I had some time and decided to go for it

Heat some oil in a pan, and add the jeera and couple of pieces of cinnamon stick

Add the onions next and cook it until it becomes clear

I would usually add a tsp/tbsp of ginger and garlic paste next, but since I already added it to the chicken to marinate, I decided to hold off until a little while into the cooking

Next were the tomatoes, chilly chicken masala and salt

Let it cook for a little bit and add some water if needed

I also added a bit of bit of ginger and garlic paste after a little while

Couple of minutes later I added the chicken

I added a little water and let it cook until I got a nice thick gravy

Jpg)I garnished it with fresh chopped coriander

KEY: I have made chicken curry before, but marinating your meat helps with the flavor!
