13.cloves & cinnamon-2 nos
14.coconut milk-1/2 cup

16.Coconut pieces -cut into thin slices
Procedure:
Firstly clean the chicken pieces very well & remove extra carilage & skin.Make cuts on the pieces & marinade with the ingredients mentioned for marination.Mix it well & refrigerate for a least 4 hrs.
Take a large heavy bottomed vessel(I usually use the Pressure cooker Bottom) & heat 5-6 tbs oil. Lightly fry the cut potato pieces & keep aside.After that lightly roast tthe marinated chicken pieces in the remaining oil & keep aside.If need be add some more oil. Once done, add the bay leaves,cinnamon & cloves.Add the sliced onions,chopped ginger & green chillies as well. Saute this until the onion turns a little brown.Then add the chopped tomatoes & all the masalas & salt. Once the mixture becomes pulpy,add the lightly fried potao & chicken pieces. Stir them for a few minutes & then add water. Keep the vessel covered & let the chicken cook in medium flame until soft. Check on the water & ensure that the gravy is not very watery.Check if the salt & masalas are also fine,else add as required. Once the chicken is cooked,add the coconut milk taking care that the gravy is thickish.
Switch of the flame once the gravy starts boiling. Finally garnish with chopped coriander leaves & slightly fried coconut pieces. Hope you enjoy this recipe.:)
