Ha's Pepper Chicken

Dearest Ha (Harini) is a wonderful cook apart from being a wonderful human being that I would one day want to be. Although we share memories of 2 decades, our culinary sharing started a few years back. Here is one of those recipes she shared generously with me. As the name might suggest "Pepper Chicken" is definitely spicy, but so tasty that I ended up eating one and half cups of rice. So my diet conscious friends beware of the carbs you might suck in !
Here are the ingredients that Ha wanted me to add and nothing else (usually I try to customize, so this time I strictly followed her rules).
1) 1lb Chicken
2) 1 whole garlic clove
3) 20 Pepper corns
4) 3 Cloves, 2 inches cinnamon stick,
5) 1 tspn Jeera
6) 2 tb spn Dhaniya seeds
7) 6-7 Dried red chillies
8) 3 tb spn dried shredded coconut
9) Half onion medium sized
10) Curry leaves 10

Here is the process
Fry the pepper corns, Jeera, Dhaniya, Red chillies in a bit of ghee/clarified butter. First grind them into fine powder, add cloves, cinnamon, coconut, and then finally garlic and Onion. Now in a pan or pot add 2tbspn oil, add curry leaves, and the washed and cut chicken. Add a bit of turmeric, salt and wait till the water evaporates off the chicken. And now is the time to add the magic masala we grinded a while ago to the chicken. Stir the masala into the chicken, and leave it on medium heat uncovered for a while, say about 10 minutes. later add a cup of water, and cover with a lid. wait till the masala and chicken is all cooked and then take the lid off. Let the water evaporate, and then finally add some cilantro leaves if you like. Believe me this one needs nothing else to make it good! And once you are done eat it with rice or chapathi and let me know how you liked it.
