This one is quite simple & easy to cook dish. We have this mainly during the winter when fresh tomatoes arrive. This is one preparation where tomatoes & yogurt both are used & herbs like cinnamon, cardamom etc. & onions are not used.

You need:
Chicken about 1Kg. Cut in to pieces.
Natural Yogurt about 1/2 cup. Stir & make a smoothy.
Ginger paste about 2 teaspoons.
Red chilly powder 1 teaspoon.
Green chilies 2 or 3 sliced finely.
Black pepper freshly ground about 3/4th. of a teaspoon.
Tomatoes about ½ Kg. Finely chopped & not blended or pureed.
Fresh coriander leaves for garnishing.

Method:
Put a wok on flame with ½ cup oil. To this add I teaspoon of salt. This will prevent chicken pieces from sticking to the bottom surface. Use a non-stick wok if you have one.
When the oil is hot add the chicken pieces. Fry the meat till it is golden coloured. Add the chopped tomatoes, red chilly powder & black pepper. Stir & let it cook on medium heat. The idea is to cook the meat by the juice of the tomatoes. When dry add the curd & green chilies. Stir well to mix the curd uniformly. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves & serve with roti or nan.
