Ingredients
Chicken – 1/2 kg
Coriander powder – 2 tsp
Chilly powder – 1 tsp
Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp
Pepper powder – 1/2 tsp
Garam masala – 1 tsp
Ginger garlic paste – 2 tsp
Water – 1 cup
Onion – 1 sliced
Tomato – 1 sliced
Green chillies – 3 slit
Curry leaves – 2 sprigs
Salt – to taste
Oil – 2 tbsp
Method
Marinate the chicken pieces with all the powders, ginger garlic paste and salt for about an hour. Then cook the chicken with 1 cup of water till done. Remove the chicken pieces from the gravy and keep aside. Heat oil (coconut oil is preferred) in a non stick pan and fry the curry leaves and green chillies. Strain and keep aside. Shallow fry the cooked chicken pieces till they are light brown. In the same oil, fry the onions till golden brown. Add the tomato slices and salt to taste. Fry for a minute and add the left over gravy. Let it simmer till the gravy is thick. Now add the fried chicken pieces, green chillies and curry leaves. Mix well and fry for 2 minutes till the gravy is well coated on the chicken. It is ready to be served!
It goes well with pulao, parathas, rice, appam, idiyappam, puttu or bread. Enjoy!
