Posto Chicken

My version of Posto chicken-Here it goes...

• Soak poppy seeds for few mins then make a paste out of it in mixer.
• Make paste of finely chopped red onion.
• Make ginger,garlic paste.
• Heat oil in a pan.
• Temper the oil with Clove,Cardamom,cinnamon.
• Add onion paste,ginger-garlic paste and fry till it turns brownish with sprinkle of sugar.Add finely chopped tomato  and fry till the tomato is mushed up.
• Add chicken, green chilies and salt.
• Optional you can add little turmeric and cumin powder.(I did that but I think its optional)
• Cover and cook till chicken is done.
• Now add the poppy seed paste.
• Sprinkle a bit of water (only if water has not come out of chicken while cooking).
• Serve it with hot rice.
