Pan Fried Spicy Chicken

Use medium piece chicken, lightly slit it. Marinate it with all ingredients mentioned under marination section. Keep it for 1 hour. Longer the marination, the better.

Heat pan with coconut oil, I use coconut oil for its aroma and flavor. You can use vegetable oil. Add cumin powder and onions. Saute it until onion becomes translucent

Add green chillies, ginger garlic paste and curry leaves, now keep sauteing it until onion becomes medium brown. Do not caramelize the onions. This will ensure that chicken fry gets beautiful fried brown color. If onions are caramelized, chicken fry will get some amount of sweet taste. You can increase or decrease green chillies as per taste. Sprinkle little bit of salt and mix Well

Now add marinated chicken and mix it well with onion masala. Add some amount of coriander leaves too. Cover and cook for 20 -25 minutes or chicken is done. Cook on low flame and add no water. After every 5-6 minutes, gently toss chicken, this will help in evenly cooking chicken.

Once chicken is cooked, increase the flame to remove any traces of water that chicken would have generated and it is browned. Saute the chicken so that it does not blacken in high flame. Now add remaining coriander leaves and squeeze lemon juice. Toss and serve hot with roti or rice
