   Clean the chicken pieces and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

   Marinate the chicken pieces with the ground paste and salt for 1 hour.

4. 4

   Heat oil in a wide pan. Add chicken pieces. Cover and cook for 5-6 mins. Remove the lid and flip the chicken pieces. Cover and cook for another 5-6 minutes. If you want charred chicken, increase the heat to medium and cook for 2-3 mins on each side.
