Chicken Fry

I got this recipe from my colleague during our train journey ;). It came out well and since then have become a regular in our kitchen. Adding of cumin powder to this dish is purely optional. It tastes yummy with or without it. This fry requires less oil and is the simple dish I've prepared.

Chicken: 1 kg; wash and cut into pieces of required size

Ginger Garlic Paste: 1 tablespoon

Coriander Powder: 1 tablespoon

Chilli Powder: 1/2 tablespoon

Turmeric Powder: 1/2 teaspoon

Cumin Powder: 1/4 teaspoon (Optional)

Onion: 2; finely sliced

Green Chillis: 3-4; adjust as per taste, slit vertically
