Peel and roughly chop the gravy ingredients

Bring the water to boil

Add the gravy ingredients and reduce heat

Cook covered for 5 minutes

Take off heat after 5 minutes and discard most of the water

Use some to blend the ingredients into paste(if needed add water/can do without it)

Transfer the paste into a bowl

Heat oil in a wok

Add the gravy paste, reduce heat and sauté till oil separates

Now add the dry spices and season with salt. Mix

Add the chicken and coat them well with the gravy

Cover and cook till chicken is ready (no additional water needed)

Once ready,ie, when the chicken softens and the gravy has been reduced, take off heat

Add lemon juice and cilantro. Mix well and plate the chicken

Enjoy!

Tip: increase or decrease the gravy ingredients depending on the quantity of chicken you use
