Ingredients:

• 1 – whole chicken, cut into 8-10 small pieces
• 1/2 cup – plain yogurt
• 3 – Green chillies

• 1.5 inch – Ginger
• 1 – Large Onion

  2. Add the paste to 1/2 cup of yogurt and mix well. Add salt to taste.
  3. Add the well cleaned chicken to the yogurt, mix and keep in the refrigerator for 8-10 hours (for best results, marinate the chicken overnight).
