Classic Spicy Chicken curry

Today as my mom left the house she said I needed to cook something for dinner as she will be back very late! So I decided today to make a classic indian dish...A chicken curry! You can no go wrong with a classic curry that is a staple in many indian homes across the world! A curry is blend or many aromatic spices and the red colour is mainly from the spicy chillies used to give the curry a bit of a spark! The classic indian curry I cooked is very simple yet extremely delicious and full of flavour bursting in your mouth! It is a good wholesome dish that can be made very well!     Recipe:1 whole chicken cut into pieces                             1 onion finely chopped                                        2 tomatoes grated                                                    3 potatoes peeled and cut into quarters              1 cinnamon stick                                                      4 cardamon pods                                                     1 tsp whole jeera                                                     1.1/2 tsp dhana jeera                                             2 tsp chilli powder                                                  1/2 tsp crushed chillies                                          1/2 tsp turmeric                                                        1 tsp salt                                                                    1 tsp ginger & garlic                                                2 tblsp of oil                        
Method: 
Add the onions, whole jeera,  cinnamon sticks with 2 tablespoons of oil to a hot pot. Let the onions and the spices cook till golden brown. Then add in the tomatoes and the rest of the spices with the chicken and like it cook for 10 minutes or so till the chicken is cooked through. Add about a half a cup of water and add in your potatoes to the chicken and let it simmer in a low heat for half an hour till the potatoes are well cooked through and there is a gravy. Then garnish with a few sprigs of coriander and serve on a bed of rice.
