Cooking Instructions
Clean chicken and cut in required sizes. Marinate chicken with 1 lime, salt, red chilly power & turmeric power for about about 1/2 1 hour (Remember U are going to add more spices while cooking…so go slow on the spices here).
Take 1/2 onion. Fry it slightly brown(in 2 tbsp of oil), add garlic,
oriander, jeera, methi, pepper corns, elaichi, dalchini and red chilies (keep stiring). Fry on low heat for about 10 mins. let it cool and then grind it along with ginger & turmeric powder (1/2 tbsp). After the Marsala is ground properly, add coconut and grind for 2 mins (without adding water). Remove 3/4 of the ground Marsala and grind the remaining Marsala with little water to a fine paste.
Take the remaining onions and fry it with 1 tbsp of ghee (olive oil or coconut oil will change the flavor a bit…I have managed it without (ghee), when brown add the marinated chicken and cook it for 5-8 minutes on medium heat. keep shaking without breaking the chicken flesh from the bone. (oh forgot to mention… boneless chicken is no good for this dish.) At this point if all the water is dried up..u might want to add wee little water. Add the remaining Marsala which you put aside earlier…..cook on low heat till U know its done..say about 2-3 mins.
