Add the chicken pieces and fry on medium-low heat for about 5 minutes or till golden on all sides.

Add the ground paste and turmeric powder. Fry on medium-low heat for about 5 minutes ot till oil separates

Add water, salt and mix well. Bring to a boil. Add the tamarind pulp and the mace-nutmeg powders. Cover and simmer low heat for about 12 minutes or till the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

TIP:

Traditionally, chicken is cut into comparitively smaller pieces for this recipe.

Good morning Kikiman! I love your recipe but I can't include the grated coconut due to allergies. Is this a major ingredient or would it taste just as good without it. Excellent recipe by-the-way and you deserve 5 forks all the way!
Cheers!!!
