Rub little salt, red chilli powder and turmeric powder on the chicken pieces and keep aside. Heat oil in a pan and shallow fry the chicken pieces till they turn light golden brown in colour. Next blend together fried onions, tomatoes and curd in a blender.

Now take a deep pan and heat 2 to 3 tbsp oil in it. Put ginger paste and crushed garlic and saute for half a minute. Now put cloves and whole dried red chilli and saute for half a minute. Next put the blended puree in it and saute for 2 minutes. Now put cumin powder, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, aniseed powder and ginger powder. Stir and cook the puree on medium flame for 5 mins. Now put the fried chicken, chicken masala and salt in it and cook on medium flame, stirring occasionally till oil gathers on the walls of the pan. This should take about 6 to 8 mins. Now put 1 cup water, simmer, cover with a lid and cook till chicken becomes tender and gravy thickens (around 10 mins). Now put fenugreek, cream and half of the chopped coriander, mix and cook for another 2 mins. Remove from heat now, garnish with coriander and serve hot.
