Method 


1. Wash the boneless chicken with turmeric powder (1/2 ts) and cut into bite size pieces and pat dry with kitchen towel.

2. Grinding Paste : Chop the Onion, ginger, garlic, and grind into a paste.  

3. Add the grinded onion - ginger - garlic paste to the chicken pieces, along with that, add 1/4 ts of turmeric pwd, Kashmiri Chilli pwd and salt(1 ts)  and mix it nicely. Keep it aside for 10 to 15 mins.

4. Chop the Red onion (2 nos) length wise and deseed the jalapeno and cut into length wise and keep it aside.  

5. Dry Roast : Dry roast all the nine ingredients in a low flame and cool it. Once it is cool enough grind into a coarse powder. 

6. In a pan, once it is hot add a teaspoon of oil and put the marinated chicken pieces in the pan and stir it nicely and cover it. If it is very dry you can add 1/4 cup of water to cook. Let it cook in medium flame for about 15mins or until it is fully cooked, usually for boneless chicken it would take about 10 to 15 mins. (If incase, you are using a country chicken or chicken with bones then pressure cook it).

7. Once the chicken is cooked and all the paste is coated on the chicken turn off the stove.

8. In a wok, add 1 to 2 ts of oil of your choice. Once the oil is hot add the onions and fry it in the oil then add the curry leaves.  Once the onions are translucent add 1/2 ts of salt and add the mint leaves stir it nicely and then add the cilantro leaves give it a stir and then add the jalapenos. Fry them nicely till the raw smell goes and once the leaves are tender enough add the cooked chicken pieces and stir it nicely.

9. Once the chicken pieces are well coated with the onion mixture finally add the magic spice powder and coat it nicely by stirring. Spice Powder has a tendency to stick to the wok so carefully stir it and enjoy your Chicken.

10. Can add some lemon juice it is totally optional,  whereas if you feel it is spicy , lemon juice can be added.

Magic Spice Powder : You can store the left over powder in the airtight container and I would like to highlight that this Magic Spice powder would give marvelous taste in your recipes. The aroma fulfills your house when you add this to the meat.  

Another time saving and super quick chicken fry from Crazy tasty cook and this recipe taste so delicious. You can adjust the spiciness by adding more green chilli's and red chilli while tempering.

It goes well with Sambar/Dhal/Rasam/Curd Rice. Its again an excellent recipe which consumes less oil, if you can spend only 20mins of your time, working woman's can enjoy a tasty chicken in few minutes, if you have the spice powder handy. Also it is always healthy to intake freshly cooked food. 

 

Note : Please do not burn the spices while roasting as it might give a bitter taste (if it is burnt), so please take your time to dry roast it in a low flame.
