Answer 2

Try this website www.ndtvcooks.com. They have very recipes and very authentic ones. I usually make this chicken recipe whenever i want to eat something spicy, although you can adjust the spice level according to your taste .

1-2lbs boneless chicken ( i usually use the boneless skinless thigh)

2tbs yogurt ( fat free or any plain ones
1tsp red chilli pwd or ground paprika
1/4 tsp cumin pwd
you can ketchup, or any sauce you like around 1 tsp
don't go buying any spices use whatever is available at home.
salt to taste.
juice of half lemon
1tsp chopped cilantro

Clean and cut the chicken pieces into arund 2 inches pieces.Mix all these ingredients with hicken and keep it aside for around 1/2 hr. You don't have to do it if you are in a hurry. marinating it for a while will infuse all the flavor in the chicken. In a wok heat either 3/4 stick of butter or 4tbs of oil. you can use less if you want as chicken releases it own fat and water. Once the oil hetas up ( not till you see smoke, if that happens reduce the heat and wait for a while till the oil cools down a bit). add the chicken, do not add water. on a medium heat cover the chicken and cook for around 5-10 mins stirring occasionally. the chicken will cook in it own water and yogurt, hence water is not needed. After a while uncover the pan and cook for another 5 mins till the water evaporates and till the chicken is cooked. sprinkle cilantro and Voila! chicken ready. Eat it with bread or just by itself. This is my own recipe, so no source available. Hope you enjoy this dish.
