Chicken Majestic

Ingredients:
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
3-4 green chillies
1 tsp of soya sauce
few curry leaves
1 small bunch of mint leaves
1 tsp + 1 tbsp of oil
3 tbsp of plain yogurt
2 tsp of minced garlic
1/4 tsp of turmeric powder
1 tsp salt
½ cup yogurt
½ tsp red chili powder

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. 
Sauté until the pieces brown nicely. 
Drain and set aside. In the same pan, add the minced garlic and green chillies. 
Sauté 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. 
Sauté 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 sautéing until the chicken is cooked fully and the masala turns a lovely brown. Serve Chicken Majestic as a starter or with rice and gravy.
