Wash, clean and joint the chicken.
Shred the ginger, crush the garlic and slice the shallots and chile.
Crush the cardamoms and cloves and place in a bowl.
Add the ginger, garlic, chile powder, paprika powder, tamarind water, curry powder, turmeric, salt and cinnamon stick. Mix well together, then rub into the chicken.
Heat the oil in a pan until very hot, then add the lemon grass, curry leaves, fenugreek, shallots and chile and fry for a couple of minutes.
Add the chicken pieces and stir fry for 3 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and mix well.
Continue to cook over a low heat for 40 minutes, or until chicken is tender.
