Method:

  1. Marinate the chicken with salt, turmeric, and oil. Keep aside.

  3. Add the onion and green chillies, saute until onions turn translucent.
  4. Add the ginger garlic paste and saute for 2 minutes.

  6. In a small mixing bowl add the chopped tomatoes, coriander powder, cumin powder, and pepper powder. Add a little water and prepare the paste.
  7. Add this paste to the chicken. Fry until oil oozes out.
  8. In the mean time, prepare the green chutney.
  9. In a grinder, add the coriander leaves and the mint leaves. Add 2 tbsp of yogurt. Grind this to a fine paste.
