Ingredients
-
1 medium tomato

2 medium onions
-
2 garlic cloves
-
1 one-inch cube ginger root
- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3/4 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 bay leaves

- 1-1/2 pounds small chicken drumsticks
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (or 1/2 teaspoon for less heat)
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
Preparation
- Peel and chop tomato. Mince onion, garlic and ginger root. Remove skin from chicken and discard.
- Heat oil in a large, wide pot over a medium-high flame. When hot, put in the cumin seeds, cinnamon, bay leaves and peppercorns. Stir once.
- Add the onions, garlic and ginger. Stir this mixture until the onion picks up brown specks.

- Cover pot tightly, turn heat to low and simmer for 25 minutes or until chicken is tender. Stir a few times during this cooking period.

Helpful hints
- The whole spices in this dish should be eaten for optimal flavor.
- Decrease the cayenne pepper to 1/2 teaspoon for a less spicy dish.
