Instructions
Heat oil in a large pan, add clove, cardamom, cinnamon, fennel seeds, and onion, and saute until the onion becomes golden brown. Add ginger and garlic, and saute until the raw smell goes.
Add chili powder, Kashmiri chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and a little water, and saute until the oil separates.
Add chicken pieces, grated coconut, and lime juice, and mix well for a few minutes.
Add the required water and cook until the chicken is done and the gravy is almost thick.
Add pepper powder and curry leaves. Stir well until the gravy is dry and turns brown.
Serve with plain rice, appam, etc.
NOTE – I used bone-in chicken thighs in this recipe. Cut the thighs into smaller pieces than shown in the picture.
To ensure uniform browning of the coconut, you can pulse the grated coconut before adding it to the masala.
