• ½ kg chicken breast, cut into long strips
• 2 tsp of coriander powder
• 2 tbsp of corn flour
• 1/2 tsp of cumin powder
• 1/4 cup of buttermilk
• 1 egg
• 1.5 tsp of ginger garlic paste

Method:

• Marinate the chicken pieces in buttermilk and salt for 4 hours. Leave it in the refrigerator while you marinate. To the same bowl, add the egg, corn flour, ginger garlic paste, 1 tsp oil and leave it to marinate for another hour.. When ready to cook, heat the 1 tbsp oil in a pan and add the chicken pieces. Saute until the pieces brown nicely. Drain and set aside. In the same pan, add the minced garlic and green chillies. Saute until lightly browned and add the curry leaves and mint leaves, if using. When the curry leaves are wilted, add chilli powder, coriander, zeera, and turmeric. Saute and add the plain curd. Stir around quickly and add soya sauce and the fried chicken pieces. Mix well until the ingredients are well coated. Keep sauteing until the chicken is cooked fully and the masala turns a lovely brown. Serve Chicken Majestic as a starter or with rice and gravy.
