Step 1
Wash the chicken and then mix with the following ingredients, ginger garlic paste, coriander powder, turmeric powder, kasoori methi and salt along with 4 tablespoons of oil . Keep it aside for 30mins to marinade.
Step 2
Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the chopped onions till they start turning golden and keep them separate.
Step 3
Then, add the cummin, cardamom, clove and cinnamon to fry little bit. Add green chillies and then add the marinated chicken slowly mixing in the pan. Put a lid and cook in the medium heat/flame for 15 mins.
Step 4
Keep checking at regular interval so that the bottom doesn’t get stuck at the bottom. If the chicken is more than half cooked, then add some water and cook till they are fully cooked.
