Notes:
  • Marinating chicken is very important to get soft and juicy chicken.
  • Sambar onion is very important ingredient in this recipe. If it is not available at your place, you may replace it with big onion also.
  • You may increase or decrease the quantity of red chilli powder as per your spice level.
  • Always wash chicken in lemon juice once or twice in order to avoid the stinky smell from chicken (kavuchi smell).
