whole black pepper - 2 tsp
patta - 2 pieces
curry leaves - 2 stalks
Take a pan with thick bottom (preferably URULI) and heat it up. Fry small onions in coconut oil, till it become golden brown. Add perumjeerakam, pepper, patta and curry leaves to it and fry for one minute. Add the marinated chicken pieces to it and stir well continuously for 10 minutes. Close with a lid and keep it on a low flame for half an hour. Open the lid and stir it in every 10 minutes in order to avoid sticking the masala to the pan. Once the chicken is cooked, open it and make it drier. If it is too sticky, you can add some more coconut oil and stir.
