Chicken pulimunch

Ingredients:

• Fenugreek - 5 no.
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Clove - 2 no.
• Red chili - 4 no.
• Coriander seeds - 2 teaspoon
• Onion - 1 medium sized
• Garlic - 8-10 cloves
• Mustard - 1 teaspoon
• Pepper corns - 10 no.
• Chicken - 1 Kg
• Salt to taste
• Cooking oil
• Tamarind extraction - 1.5 table spoon

Preparation:

• Roughly chop onions and garlic
• Dry roast (without oil) cumin, fenugreek, clove, red chili, coriander seeds, onion and garlic over medium flame (ensure you don't burn them)
• Grind the roasted ingredients to a less coarse paste
• Marinate chicken with the ground ingredients and salt

Cooking:

• In a pan, heat cooking oil, add mustard seeds and allow it to crackle
• Put the marinated chicken and coat it evenly with water
• Pour a little water (half of a small tumbler/25 ml)
• Cover and cook in medium fire until tender (check frequently in between/ sprinkle water if necessary)
• Once the chicken is completely tender, add tamarind extraction, just allow it to heat
• Check for salt and remove from fire

Notes:

• Don't boil/over boil after adding tamarind extraction which shall make it too tangy/bitter
• If you are so lazy (or busy) to roast and powder the ingredents, 
• temper whole cumin, clove, fenugreek along with mustard seed,
• Marinate chicken with salt, pepper powder, chili powder
• Chop onion and garlic, add to recipe after spices and before chicken
• But there shall be variance in taste
• This goes well with white rice; however, the best bet is with maida (refined flour) dosa or wheat flour dosa
