Take a bowl and mix all of the mentioned ingredients (except oil) and allow to marinate for 3-4 hrs.

Then, heat oil in a pan and deep fry the marinated chicken pieces till golden brown. Pat dry with paper towels (to remove excess oil).

Garnish with slightly sauted sliced onions and green chillies, curry leaves and lime slices.

An excellent appetizer/starter and side dish for biryanis/pulaos/other rice varieties.
