This dish is our favorite at home Mom usually makes this once in a week and I make this when I miss mom's food and it makes me feel so better. Hmmm Well this dish uses lot of tomatoes and it is purely tomato based so I would say try it only if u love tomato based gravy.

 METHOD:

1. In a vessel add oil once its hot drop in the washed and drained chicken pieces one by one and fry them until they are brown. Take it out in a bowl and let it sit there.
2. In the same oil now you put in chopped tomatoes keep the flame high and add all the spices  (chilly,cumin,turmeric,salt,clove,black cardamom) and whole garlic pearls and slit green chillies. Stir well. Let all this fry well until the tomatoes leave out lot of water and it starts to soften. keep stirring.
3. Now cover the vessel with lid and simmer it for 10min. Then open the lid and check whether tomatoes are cooked mash them up using a spatula until smooth 
4. To the cooked tomatoes add in the fried chicken with all its leftover juices and close the lid and simmer for 10 more minutes. Your Ruangan kokur is ready. You can garnish with corainder leaves.
