Garlic And Roasted Spices Chicken

We had some friends for dinner over the weekend. I wanted to make some simple dishes. I thought of a simple chicken dish and made this one with loads of garlic in it. I used roasted spices, unlike any chicken dishes I have tried so far. It came out so good. I will be making this often now.

1/4 cup tomato
4 green chillies
1/2 tea spn chilli powder

6 cloves
2″ cinnamon
1 cardamom
A small piece nutmeg
1 piece japatri(mace)
1 tea spn coriander seeds
1 tea spn cumin seeds
1/2 tea spn methi seeds
