Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Marinate the Chicken

   Take 300g of chicken pieces. Add ginger garlic paste, a pinch of turmeric powder, and salt. Marinate for 20 minutes.

2. 2.Sauté Garlic

   Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a tawa (griddle). Add the crushed garlic and fry until it turns light brown.

3. 3.Sauté Onions, Green Chillies, and Curry Leaves

   Add the finely chopped onions to the tawa. Immediately add the finely chopped green chillies and curry leaves. Fry everything together until the onions turn light brown.

4. 4.Add Salt and Tomatoes

   Add salt to taste to the sautéed mixture. Then, add the finely chopped tomatoes and fry until they are slightly cooked and softened.

5. 5.Add Dry Spices and Cook Masala

   Add coriander powder, garam masala, jeera powder, pepper powder, and chili powder to the mixture. Mix all the spices thoroughly. Add a splash of water if needed to prevent burning and continue frying until the oil separates from the masala, indicating it's well cooked.

6. 6.Add Chicken and Cook

   Add the marinated chicken pieces to the cooked masala on the tawa. Mix everything well, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the spices. Cover the tawa with a lid and let it cook for 2 minutes, allowing the chicken to cook through and absorb the flavors.

7. 7.Finish and Garnish

   Remove the lid. The chicken should be well cooked and the oil will have separated, indicating it's ready. Garnish with fresh chopped coriander leaves and mix gently.

8. 8.Serve Spicy Tawa Chicken
