Lemon Coriander Chicken

This is a delicious Indian recipe.  It's important to use whole coriander and cumin seeds.

I use chicken thighs with bone and skin in most chicken recipes.   It's the juiciest and most flavourful.   Cut thighs in three pieces at least.

When browning chicken, only put in a few pieces at a time.  Don't turn the chicken until it loosens from the pan by itself.

Ingredients:
Chicken pieces
Olive oil
Cracked coriander seeds

Cumin seeds
1 yellow onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic
1 lemon, juice and zest
1 tsp.ground ginger
1 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. paprika
freshly ground pepper

Instructions:
Heat the oil in a large saute pan and brown the coriander and cumin seeds.
Brown the onion and garlic and remove.
Add oil and brown the chicken. 
Add juice of one lemon and lemon zest, ground coriander, ground ginger, paprika, and pepper. cream, yogurt, and chopped tomato.   Turn down the heat and simmer until chicken is tender.
