  1. Clean chicken and cut into eight pieces. Make deep cuts on the pieces. Peel and chop the onion and half the ginger finely.
  2. Wash and slit the green chillies, squeeze the lemon, strain the juice and keep aside. Grind the masala ingredients and the remaining ginger to a smooth paste, adding a little water. Marinate the chicken with this paste, salt and lemon juice. Rest for about one hour.
  3. Heat oil in kadai and add the onion and ginger. Sauté till light brown. Add the green chilli, wash and add curry leaves. Add the chicken and toss on high heat to seal the surface of the meat. Sprinkle some water and cook on low heat till the meat is tender. Finish the cooking once again on high heat to dry off all traces of water. This dish should be very dry with the masala coating the chicken well.
