Hi Aruna,
My cuz used to make this spicy chicken almost the same way without onions.. she used to marinate the chicken pieces in yogurt, chilli, dhania and masala powders along with ginger garlic paste.. then she used to saute in oil for some time till the oil oozes out of the masala. it used to taste wonderful and ur recipe reminded me of her . thanks for sharing
