How to Make Dry Chicken Chilli Fry

  1. In a bowl, combine chicken, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Cover the marinated chicken and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (longer is better, up to overnight).
  3. Heat the oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and fry until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Add the chopped green chilies and fry for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Add the marinated chicken to the pan. Stir-fry until lightly browned on all sides.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  7. Remove the lid and continue to fry for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is dry and slightly crispy.
  8. Stir in the lime juice and fresh coriander. Mix well.
  9. Serve hot with steamed rice, naan bread, and a cooling raita (yogurt dip) on the side.
