Ingredients

  • 500 grams Chicken
  • ¼ tsp turmeric powder
  • 2 tbsp rice flour
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 10 curry leaves
  • ½ cup chopped coriander leaves
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 5 tbsp cooking oil or more

Grind to a fine paste:

  • 1 small onion
  • 5 dry red chilies
  • 6 curry leaves
  • 1 piece of ginger 2 inches
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1 green chili

Instructions

  • Wash and cut chicken into small or medium pieces. You can also use boneless chicken pieces for faster cooking.
  • Make the paste and keep ready.
  • Mix chicken pieces with the ground paste and also add 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 2 tbsp rice flour, 1 tbsp lemon juice, salt and marinate for 3 to 4 hours.
  • Heat oil in a thick bottom saucepan and fry the chicken pieces on high heat on both sides for 2 minutes each.
