Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
Salt – to taste
Water – as needed
Onions – 2 large (finely chopped)
Curry leaves – 1 sprig
Green chilies – 2 (slit)
Ginger-garlic paste – 2 tbsp
Red chili powder – 1½ tsp (adjust to spice level)
Coriander powder – 1 tbsp

In a pressure cooker or pot, add the cleaned country chicken, turmeric, salt, and just enough water to cover.
Pressure cook for 3–4 whistles (or slow cook until tender if not using a pressure cooker).
Once done, separate the stock (don’t discard it – it can be used in soups or rasam!).
Heat oil in a wide pan.
Add chopped onions, green chilies, and curry leaves. Fry until golden brown.
Add ginger-garlic paste. Sauté until the raw smell goes.
Add red chili powder, coriander powder, (optional: fennel powder or coconut paste). Mix well and cook until oil separates.
Add the boiled chicken pieces (without too much stock). Keep stirring on medium-high flame.
Fry for 10–15 minutes, allowing the masala to coat the chicken and dry up completely.
Sprinkle garam masala and pepper powder at the end. Mix well and fry for 2–3 more minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
