Ingredients

Chicken – ½ kg

Ginger Garlic Paste – 2 tsp

Dry Red Chilly – 25

Yogurt – ½ cup

Garlic – 6 pods

Cinnamon Sticks – 5

Cardamom – 5

Cloves – 5

Salt to taste

Oil for fry

Chopped Coriander Leaves - few

Method

In a blender, add red chillies, garlic, clove, cinnamon, cardamom, salt with yogurt and make it as fine paste.

Wash and clean the chicken pieces and keep it aside. I used leg pieces to make this chicken masala.

In a medium sized bowl add the chicken pieces and marinate with chilli paste. Let it be for about an hour.

Then heat oil and add chicken pieces and fry well on low flame. Close the lid and keep cook on low flame.

It takes some time to cook the chicken completely. Once it done, then switch off the flame.

Garnish with chopped coriander leaves. This goes well with chapatti or rice.
