• Boil the tomatoes for 10-15 minutes. Cool it and puree.
• Add the oil in a kadhai and heat it.
• Add cinnamon, black and green cardamom, cloves, javitri flower and bay leaves. Saute for a minute.
• Add the spice paste and fry 5-6 minutes on medium heat.
• Fry till oil separates.

• Heat a charcoal. Place a small bowl in the mid of the chicken and place the heated charcoal. Put a clove on it and ghee for the smoke. Cover the lid until all the smoke is gone and the inside is clear.
• Remove the bowl and keep on cooking on low heat until the chicken is well done and have a semi-thick gravy.
