Method
1. You can use store bought fried onions for this recipe. If not, slice the onions and deep fry
in oil till it turns crispy and brown in colour.
2. Grind together all the ingredients under 'to grind' adding water as needed to make a very
smooth paste.
3. Mix this paste with the chicken and let it marinate for atleast half an hour.
4. Heat oil in a pan and add the marinated chicken along with the masala (marinade).
5. Add the coconut milk, potatoes and required salt to this. Add more water if you want more gravy.
6. Cover and cook till the chicken is done and oil seperates from the gravy.
7. The fried onions and the red chillies give a bright red colour to the gravy. So it does not
need any garnishing. Serve with rice.
