Stir fry the cloves,
turmeric, coriander, and cumin seeds and puree them together with 1
onion, sugar, 1 cup of water, nutmeg and ginger. Sprinkle the chicken
with salt and pepper to taste and poor the spice mixture on top. Make
sure all chicken parts are covered. Bring to the boil and simmer for
half an hour. Even better is to prepare in the morning and reheat just
before dinner, which will intensify the flavor. Deep fry the remaining
onion and sprinkle on top just before serving.
This is a recipe from
Madura,
an island in between
Bali
and Java.

Mix the yogurt with the saffron, ginger and pepper
and salt to taste and marinate the chicken one hour. Fry the onions
and the chilies 15 minutes on very low heat, add the garam masala and
fry 5 minutes more. Add the chicken and fry on high heat for five minutes,
stir well. Add half a cup of water, close the pan and simmer for 20
minutes. In a separate pan, fry the boiled eggs for 5 minutes until
golden brown. Put the chicken in a bowl and arrange the eggs, raisins
and cashew nuts on top.
"Murgh nawabi" (chicken from the nawab) is a recipe
worthy of such a big ruler, especially with the use of ingredients like
saffron and cashew nuts. This recipe was inspired by the beautiful book
"Regional Indian Cooking" from Ajoy Joshi and Alison Roberts.
