First, we put the tajine over the fire. Next, we put one half cup of olive oil. We cut the onions into small pieces and put them in the tajine for almost 10 min. Then, we cut one tomatoe into small pieces and put it with the onions. After we take the skin out of the chicken legs, we put them in the tajine with the onions. Next , we put one spoon of salt, one spoon of black paper, one spoon of cumin, not too much of garlic, one spoon of regular chili powder, and a little bit of cilantro. In fact, we should cut the cilantro and garlic into small pieces too. After we add all these, we shake everything well and close the tajine for 15 min.
