  1. In a big bowl mix chicken, onion paste, ginger and garlic paste, 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1 tsp garam masala, 1/2 tsp red chilli powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1 chopped green chilli, few cilantro leaves chopped, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder and 1/2 tsp salt. Make small meatballs. Keep aside.
  2. Heat oil into a frying pan and add the meatballs. Fry until golden brown. Once done, remove them from oil and keep them aside on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
  3. Into a deep pan heat some oil. Add cumin seeds, cloves, cinnamon stick, green and black cardamons. When cumin seeds start to sizzle add chopped onions and fry until onion starts to change color. Add ginger and garlic and stir fry for 1 minute.
  4. Now add chopped tomatoes, salt and all powdered spices. Cook until tomatoes are getting mushy and start to separate from oil.
  5. Add a cup of water and bring it to boil. Lower the flame and add the meatballs. Simmer for 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
