  4. Heat a big non stick pan and add 2 tablespoons of oil.
  5. Then add onions, slit green chillies and curry leaves and saute till the onions begin to lightly brown.

  7. Throw in the chopped tomatoes and cook till the tomatoes are pulpy and mashed.
  8. Reduce heat and add 2 tbsp chicken masala powder.  Saute for a minute.
  9. Blend 1/2 cup of yogurt with little water and add it to the pan along with salt to taste and mix well. Allow it to simmer for a while.
  10. Add the marinated chicken to the masala gravy and mix gently. Cover and cook on medium heat for around 20-25 minutes till the chicken has been cooked thoroughly.
  11. Open the pan and add garam masala powder. Simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes so that the gravy thickens. Remove from heat and keep covered.
