  • Heat oil in a nonstick kadai. Crackle in some cumin seeds and fry for a min. Now add in onions and green chilli. Fry them for 5 mins. Till it turns light golden.
  • Now add in ginger garlic paste and fry till the onion is well browned. Make sure the onion is golden, because that what gives good colour to the curry.
  • Now add in the marinated chicken and mix well. Cover with a tight lid and cook on a very low flame for a good 30 mins to 40 mins stirring in-between as you go.
  • Now open the lid and increase the heat. Dry up the chicken, this will make the masala stick to the chicken and get fried.
  • Add in tons of coriander leaves and lemon juice to taste. Mix well and serve.

Notes

  • Marinating the chicken over night with spices and salt helps to tenderize the chicken, which allows it to absorb more flavor, and reduces the need for excess oil while cooking.
  • Caramelizing onions adds a natural sweetness and rich flavor to the dish. Cook the onions on low heat until they are golden brown to enhance the taste.
  • Using Coconut oil are healthier than regular vegetable oil which provide extra nutritional benefits.
