1 tsp fennel seeds
1 kg chicken, cut

1. On a griddle, toast the poppy seeds for
a few minutes until light brown. Crush with a rolling pin, then soak in a little water for
15 mins.
2. Grind coconut together with poppy and fennel seeds, cinnamon, cardamon, cloves and
turmeric to make a fine paste.
3. Heat the oil in a large shallow cooking pot and saute the onions for 10 mins until
lightly coloured. Add the ginger garlic, then 2 minutes later add the star anise and red
chilli powder, followed by the spice paste. Saute for 5 mins.
