Procedure

Preheat 24 cm Regular unit until the Thermo Indicator reaches the green mark.

In the same unit add onions, curry leaves and dry red chillies. Fry for 2-3 minutes in the fat, add tomatoes and mix it well.

Add turmeric powder, chilli powder and chicken pieces and mix well. Cover and cook until the Thermo Indicator reaches 100 degree mark or until the chicken is well cooked.
