Directions

In a kadai or a frying pan add enough oil to fry the onions, the actual recipe calls for deep fried onions.
I sauteed the onions till they were golden brown then added the cumin seeds,cloves,meat masala,garam masala,chili and kashmiri chili powders,fry for a minute or more then add the diced tomatoes followed  by the tomato paste.Fry till the oil separates.

To this add the ground paste of khus khus,green chili and coriander leaves and fry.

I had cleaned the chicken and marinated with some lime juice and turmeric powders.
Add the chicken to the masala making  sure to cook the chicken on low flame till done.Add about 1/4 cup of water or wait till the water comes out of the chicken.COOK TILL DONE!

Finally  garnish with some fried onions and coriander leaves.

*To make a slight variation add 3 tbs of heavy whipping cream to the same Khus Khus Chicken it will be creamy Malai Khus Khus Murg
