Marinate chicken pieces with yogurt, carom seeds, ginger garlic paste, red chilies and salt for half an hour.
Heat oil in a thick pan and add chicken pieces.

Cook chicken until it turns brown and all juices are absorbed. Keep moving it to ensure even browning.
Lower the heat and add the rest of the marinade.
Add + cup of water, cover and cook on low heat until the chicken turns tender.
Add cream and chopped cilantro.
Continue frying this until chicken is dry and well coated. Serve hot.

You can omit water in step 5 altogether if the kind of chicken you have, cooks easily.
Using thigh and drumstick will not make the meat hard when overcooked.
