How To Make coriander/cilantro chicken - indian style

Step 1

Using a blender, make a smooth paste of onion, garlic and ginger (Using 4-5tbsp of water)

Step 2

Heat oil in a large pan(2min) and add the black pepper. Now add the onion paste along with all the powdered spices, stir evenly and cook on low heat for 2-3min (Cook covered with lid).
Step 3

After 3min, give the onion paste a stir and it should start to look translucent, cook for 2min. Now add the boneless chicken and stir everything, cover the lid and cook for another 5-8min or till chicken is cooked. (Keep stirring every 2min and making sure that the paste & chicken doesn’t stick to bottom)
Step 4

Add fresh coriander paste, lemon juice in yogurt and mix together. Once the chicken is cooked, add the yogurt mixture and cook on medium for another 5min.
Step 5

After 5min all the water(from yogurt) would have soaked up and the chicken would have cooked properly along with all the spices.
Step 6

Turn off the heat, transfer in serving dish, decorate with fresh coriander and serve hot.
