Preparation
Step 1
For preparing the spicy aromatic dish, first wash the chicken pieces and marinate with chilly powder, coriander, turmeric powder, lime juice and required salt for half an hour.
Step 2
Dry roast the masala ingredients: shallots, garlic cloves, grated coconut, chilly powder, coriander, turmeric and grind firmly by adding little water.
Step 3
Get a manchatti and cook ginger garlic paste.
Step 4
Then, add onions and green chillies and curry leaves. When the color changes to slight brown, add the ground coconut paste into the chatti.
Step 5
When it starts to boil, add the marinated chicken pieces and cover with a lid. When the chicken is cooked well, spread some pepper powder on top.
Step 6
Serve the dish with appam, porotta, chappati etc.
Tip
Marinate for at least 30 minutes if you can — the spices penetrate deeper and the chicken stays juicier.
