Ingredients:

1.5 kg chicken, cut into pieces:

Ensure the chicken is cleaned and cut into pieces suitable for cooking. You can use a whole chicken and cut it into parts like legs, thighs, breasts, etc., or you can use pre-cut chicken pieces based on your preference.

1 tbsp salt:

• Use regular table salt or sea salt according to your preference. Adjust the amount based on your taste preferences, but 1 tablespoon is a good starting point for seasoning the chicken.

1/2 tbsp red chilli powder:

• Red chilli powder adds heat and color to the dish. Adjust the amount based on your spice tolerance. You can use mild or hot chilli powder according to your preference.

1 tsp garlic powder:

• Garlic powder adds a subtle garlic flavor to the dish. If you don’t have garlic powder, you can finely mince fresh garlic cloves as a substitute.

1 tsp black pepper:

• Black pepper adds a mild heat and pungent flavor to the dish. Freshly ground black pepper is recommended for the best flavor.

1 tsp coriander powder:

• Coriander powder adds a warm, citrusy flavor to the dish. It complements the other spices well and enhances the overall taste of the chicken.

2 tbsp tomato sauce:

• Tomato sauce adds a tangy and slightly sweet flavor to the dish. You can use store-bought tomato sauce or make your own at home.

2 tbsp hot sauce:

• Hot sauce adds heat and a tangy flavor to the dish. Choose your favorite hot sauce based on your preference for spiciness. Options like sriracha, Tabasco, or any other hot sauce can be used.

1/2 cup yogurt:

• Yogurt helps tenderize the chicken and adds a creamy texture to the marinade. It also adds a subtle tangy flavor to the dish. Use plain, unsweetened yogurt for best results.

2 tbsp oil:

• Oil is used for cooking the chicken. You can use any cooking oil of your choice, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or olive oil.

Fresh coriander, for garnish:

• Fresh coriander leaves add a fresh and aromatic touch to the dish. Wash and chop the coriander leaves finely for garnishing the cooked chicken.

Tomatoes and green chillies, for garnish:

• Sliced tomatoes and green chillies are used for garnishing the dish. They add color, freshness, and a hint of spiciness to the presentation. Slice them thinly for garnishing the

serving dish.

What to do:

Marinate the Chicken:

• Put the chicken pieces in a big bowl.
• Season the chicken with black pepper, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt.
• To the bowl, add yogurt, hot sauce, and tomato sauce.
• Use your hands to cover the chicken pieces completely with the sauce.
• Put the bowl lid on top and put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to marinate. Marinate overnight for the best effects.

Cook the Chicken:

• In a big tawa or skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
• When the oil is hot, put the chicken pieces that have been marinating in it in a single layer on the tawa.
• For 10 to 12 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked all the way through, cook the chicken.
• To make sure the chicken cooks evenly and doesn’t stick to the tawa, keep turning it every so often.
• Take the chicken off the tawa and put it on a serving dish when it’s done.

Garnish and Serve:

• Add chopped new parsley to the cooked chicken as a garnish.
• If you want to add even more freshness and flavor, slice some green chilies and tomatoes and place them around the chicken.
• Make a full meal by serving it hot with rice or naan bread.
