chicken curry with ginger & aniseed (saunf)

This chicken curry does not need any onion or garlic or turmeric but tasted quite nice, rather unique & so I copied the recipe from my friend.

1...chicken------------------ medium sized pieces
2...curd--------------------- 2 cups
3...dry ginger powder ------ 2 tbsp
4...aniseed (saunf) " --------2tbsp
5...Kashmiri chili "----------1 tbsp
6...salt --------------------- 1 & half tsp
7...Mustard oil--------------1 tsp
or any oil
8...asafoetida (hing )-------- half tsp
9...big cardamom -----------2-4 pieces
or cinnamon
10..whole green chili--------2-4 splitted (optional)
11..kasuri methi powder- --1 tsp (optional)
or chopped coriander
(cilantro)


Mix 1,2,3,4 ,5 & 6 & marinate the chicken for 1-2 hours.
Take the oil in a pan & heat it.When oil is hot put 8,9,10 in the oil & almost immediately add all marinated chicken & marination liquid in it. Stir for a while & cover & cook till chicken is cooked or soft. If gravy dries up add little water & adjust the salt & add kasuri methi powder ( indian herb) if you want or fresh coriander (cilantro) . This curry will have little gravy.
Serve hot with rice or chapati.
