Preparation

• Cut the chicken into medium size pieces. Grind all the ingredients mentioned above into a smooth paste.
• Take half of the paste and marinate the chicken with it and leave it for an hour. In a pan, heat coconut oil and fry the chicken pieces till it gets golden brown in colour.
• Once the chicken pieces are fried, use the same oil to saute the sliced onions till it turns golden brown. Use more coconut oil if required.
• Add the remaining marinade and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Now transfer this gravy and the chicken pieces into a pressure cooker. Add 1/2 cup of water and the curry leaves. Cook it for 2 whistles.
