- For the chicken:Cut the chicken into small pieces, mix ginger and garlic paste, add 5 tablespoons of yogurt, salt to taste, and 1/4 tsp garam masala powder, and mix well.
- Blend about 15 green chillies in a blender with a little water and add it to the chicken.

- In a pan add about 1/2 cup oil, add a handful of chopped onions and when onion is light golden add the chicken mixture.
- Mix well, bring the mixture to a boil and leave on medium flame to cook, stirring occasionally.
- The chicken will secrete water and so there is no need to add any water separately.
- Once the chicken is cooked and the water has dried up, this will leave behind a thick gravy.
- Set the cooked chicken aside.
- For the rice:
- Wash the rice well and soak it for 15 mins in normal water.
- In a separate saucepan, bring water to boil.
- For the tehari:In a large pan, add 1/4 cup oil, add 2 cups of chopped onions, add 3 cinnamon and 1 cardamom. Fry till golden brown.
- When the onion is fried, drain the rice and add it with the onion and add salt to taste.
- Keep stirring this mixture as it tends to stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Just mix this around for about 1 minute and then add the cooked chicken mixture along with all the gravy and oil.
- Mix the rice and chicken well.
- Then add the boiled water to the point where the mixture is submerged in water and the water level is about 1/2-3/4 inch above the mixture.
- Bring it to a boil, add whole green chillies and 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala powder.
- Once the mixture is boiling, put the lid on and leave it on medium flame.
- Every few minutes, stir the mixture slowly.
- Once the water is 90% soaked up, lower the flame to minimum and let it cook.
- Once the rice is done (when the rice is completely translucent), take it off the flame and leave it covered with the lid for a while.
