HOW TO PREPARE
Take a pan and heat half the oil. Add the garlic, coriander, red chilly powder and grated coconut. Sauté on a low flame till the coconut becomes a dark brown colour and an aroma begins to rise. Let it cool and then add a little bit of water and make a thick paste. Now heat the remaining oil in the pan. Add the curry leaves, ginger, green chilly and the chopped onion. Sauté till the onions are golden brown. Put in the chicken, turmeric powder, red chilly, 1 cup water and the coconut paste. Stir well and add salt to taste. Cover, simmer and cook for 25 minutes or till the chicken is nice and soft. Garnish with coriander and serve.
