Koli Kulambu (Chicken Gravy)


1 clove garlic
2 whole cloves
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 onion
2 tablespoon oil
2 cup water
1 teaspoon tamarind paste * see note
2 tomatoes coarsely chopped
2 teaspoon salt or less to taste
1 1/2 lb chicken w/bones (drumsticks & thighs)

Using a blender, blend garlic, cloves, fennel, cumin, coriander, cayenne and onion into a smooth paste, adding a little water (no more than 1/4 cup) if required. Heat oil in a Dutch oven. When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the blended mixture. Be sure to cover the pan quickly it will be quite pungent. Sauté for 2-3 minutes or until the onion loses its raw smell. Add water, tamarind paste, tomatoes and salt. Bring to a steady boil. Add chicken and return to boil. Turn down the flame and allow to simmer for about 30 minutes or until the curry thickens.
