HOW TO PREPARE
Take the chicken and make slits on all side. Put it in a bib bowl and pour the Soya sauce and salt. Mix it up and let it marinate for two hours. Cut the onion and green chillies and put in into a blender. Now add the garlic flakes, coriander leaves, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, cumin seeds, pepper corns and blend it till it becomes a fine paste. Now take a frying pan and pour the oil and bring to heat. When the oil is nice and hot add the paste and sauté. Simmer and sauté till the raw smell of the paste leaves. After about three minutes an aroma will begin to rise. Now add the chicken pieces and salt. Add very little water and mix it well. Then cover the pan with a lid, simmer and cook for about 20 minutes. Remove from flame and serve with rice.
