| 2 | pounds | chicken, whole | cut into serving-size pieces,, skinned, up to 3 pounds |
| 10 | tablespoons | vegetable oil | |
| 6 | cups | onions | thinly sliced |
| 2 | tablespoons | garlic | finely chopped |
| 3 | tablespoons | ginger | finely chopped |
| 2 | each | cinnamon sticks | |
| 8 | each | cardamom pods | |
| 1 | tablespoon | turmeric | |
| 1 | teaspoon | cayenne pepper | |
| 2 | cups | tomatoes, canned, crushed | |
| 1 | tablespoon | kosher salt | |
| 1 | tablespoon | cumin seeds | ground, roasted or ground cumin |
| 4 | tablespoons | cilantro leaves | chopped |
In a large heavy-bottomed pan, preferably with a nonstick surface, heat 2 tablespoons oil over high heat.
When oil is very hot add chicken, a few pieces at a time, and sear until browned on all sides, about 4 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon remove chicken to a plate and continue until all pieces are browned.
Add remaining oil and onions to pan, reduce heat to medium-high and fry 30 minutes until light brown, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add garlic and ginger and fry 5 minutes.
Add cinnamon and cardamom and fry 2 minutes, until spices are puffed and beginning to brown.
Add turmeric and cayenne and stir rapidly 15 seconds.
Return chicken to pan and stir in tomatoes, salt and 2 cups boiling water.
Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook about 45 minutes, until chicken is tender and gravy has thickened.
Check frequently, and add a little water if sauce is evaporating too quickly.
Turn off heat and let dish rest, covered at least 1 hour, preferably 2.
When ready to serve, reheat, fold in cumin and cilantro, and adjust seasonings if needed.
