Chicken – 1 Kg

Ginger Garlic Paste – 2-4 Tbs

Malvani Masala – 4-6 Tbs

Method :

For the green masala, make a smooth paste of all the ingredients.

Clean the chicken but leave the skin on. Then cut the chicken into 10-12 pieces. Make slashes/cuts on the chicken pieces. To the chicken pieces, add the green masala, ginger garlic paste, salt to taste and 2 Tb of malvani masala. Keep aside for about an hour.

In a kadai / wok add the oil, and when it’s hot, add the chicken pieces and sauté till they start to brown. Then add about 2 Tb of Malvani masala and a little water (1/4 cup) and cover and cook for 20 minutes. Then remove the lid and sauté till the chicken is completely dry.

P.S. You can also put all ingredients together and marinate the chicken in it. In that case, use less amount of Malvani masala.Then barbeque it.
