Ingredients:

1 kg chicken, cut into 8 pieces

50g tomato paste

2 tablespoons ginger, finely sliced

2 tablespoons garlic paste

4-5 green chillies

1 bunch fresh green coriander

Salt to taste

100ml plain buttermilk (lala)

Put the oil and garlic paste in a wok and stir-fry for a few seconds. Add crushed cumin, black pepper and stir well, then go in with the chicken. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

Add whole green chillies and fresh coriander and mix well. In a separate bowl, mix tomato paste and buttermilk, salt, crushed red chilli and fresh turmeric. Mix well, then add to the chicken.
