  • Step 2: When heated, saute onions, cloves, cinnamon, minced garlic and ginger root. When onion is opaque

  • Step 3: Add tomatoes, chilies and tomato sauce. The mixture will become soupy as tomatoes release their water, but do not add more tomato sauce.

  • Step 4: When mixture is soupy

  • Step 5: Stir in spices.

  • Step 7: After ten minutes, add yogurt.

  • Step 8: After another ten minutes, squeeze in lime

  • Step 9: But only once, and lightly, as too much will rob the flavor.

  • Step 10: Start preparing the rice while this mixture cooks for 20-30 minutes, or until chicken is done.

  • Step 11: If too spicy, eliminate the chili peppers and cut the spices in half.

  • Step 12: Also, drinking milk or water with the meal will take the edge off the spices.

  • Step 13: If not spicy enough, increase curry powder and add red pepper.

  • Step 14: The yogurt can be a side dish.

  • Step 15: Serve the chicken over rice and with pita bread.
