  • For the tempering, heat oil in a separate pan.Add the whole spices, curry leaves and sliced shallots.
  • Fry until the onions turn golden brown.
  • Now pour this over the prepared chicken curry and cover the pot immediately so that the aroma lingers in the curry. Let it remain covered for 10 minutes.
