Add the chicken pieces and sauté till it begins to give out oil. This will take around five minutes. Then put in the fennel seeds, dry ginger powder, cloves, cardamom powder and fry for a while. Then add the beaten curd and stir well. Add half a cup water and keep stirring till it begins to boil. Cover and cook for 20 minutes or till the chicken becomes tender.
