Notes

If you are using meat that is not tender, you can soak it in butter milk for about 2 hours. Keep refrigerated. It turns tender. Just before cooking, drain off the buttermilk and use the chicken.

1. Add just a tsp of oil to a heavy bottom or non stick pan. Use the right size utensil, do not use a very large pan to make little chicken. Add the dry spices and saute. Spread the oil on the pan.

2. Add chicken, spread the ginger garlic over it, do not drop it on the pan, it may get burnt. This way it absorbs the flavors from ginger garlic.Sprinkle salt evenly.

3. Cook covered on the lowest flame for about 3 to 4 minutes.

4. Flip and cover back. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes.

5. Add onions, turmeric and curry leaves. Fry till the onions turn transparent. Do not increase the flame.

6. Sprinkle garam masala and red chili powder. Stir and cook covered again till it is soft cooked. Stir in between to prevent burning if needed.

7. Add another tsp. oil and fry for about a minute. Cover it again. Switch off the stove and leave it for 15 minutes on the burner.Keep covered until you serve.

I have also shared a simple easy roast that needs no grinding, can be served as a starters or accompanied with any flavored rice or plain rice and rasam as well. It can be made with bone-in or boneless chicken. I suggest using tender chickn to yield soft, juicy, flavorful and tender chunks.

To make this, you can use any flavorful garam masala, a good ready made masala works well too. You can just use grated ginger garlic if you do not have paste. No tomatoes are used and i suggest using fresh lemon juice to get the tang. The entire cooking has to be done on the lowest flame or setting to yield juicy and soft bites.

This chicken dry has been prepared with just 2 tsp of oil to make a little over 2 servings. Each serving size (4 oz or 113 grams chicken) consist of less than a 1 tsp of oil with no added fats of any kind. This is one of the best south Indian chicken recipes suitable to folks on a low fat diet, diabetics or gestational diabetics as well.

Using less oil does not alter the taste, but you can add more oil like the way used for other dishes.
