Chicken karahi

This is a famous chicken dish prepared with yogurt and spices.unlike other chicken dishes it doesnt need to start with frying onions which is essential for every other nonveg preparations and the most boring part of cooking as it takes little extra time to brown the onions.anyways chicken karahi has many versions,this version came out good for me.If possible make it in a wide pan.The best part is we try to make chicken in its own water and the juices of onions and tomatoes which makes it so soft and succulent.
