- Capsicum - 1 small , juliened, very optional! (green bell pepper)
- Fresh Coriander leaves for garnishing
Directions
- Wash and dry chicken pieces. Make tiny slits with a sharp knife to allow the marinade to seep in.
- Mix the marinade ingredients, and put the chicken pieces into it. Mix in well, and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight.
- Grill till done and browned...approx 8-10 minutes on either side, turning once. Be sure to place tray underneath to catch the drippings!!
- Meanwhile...for the curry/gravy:
- Grind onions, garlic and ginger. Put 2 tbs of oil in pan and fry this ground onion masala for 7-10 mins.
- Now add tomato puree, green chillies, lime juice and dry spices. Fry for 3-5 mins.
- Simmer and put in butter and cream and simmer, covered for approx 15 mins till oil rises to surface.
- Now gently slide in chicken pcs and simmer for further 10-15 mins till chicken heated right thru with gravy. Adjust seasonings etc.
- If the curry is too thick, add the drippings from the grill tray.
- Garnish with coriander leaves and cream swirls if desired!
- Note: Can use cottage cheese cubes (paneer) instead of chicken for veggie version...as in my picture.

Good morning Vindee... I prepare a very similar recipe and as you, I marinate the night before. I'm right with crystalwaters, this dish is one of my favourites.
