- When you get the aroma of the spices, add the sliced onions and sauté on medium-high heat until the onions turn soft and start browning. This takes around 6-7 minutes.
- Now slowly add chicken along with the marinade and cook on medium heat for 5-6 minutes stirring continuously until the chicken loses its rawness.
- Then lower the heat and cover and cook for 25-30 minutes. Stirring intermittently.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp of oil in a skillet on medium-low heat and the sliced onions. Fry the onions stirring constantly until they turn brown and crispy. remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- After 25-30 minutes, do a taste test, stir in slit green chillies and sugar and salt if required. Cover and continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes.
- Finally, add some chopped coriander leaves and fried onions and take off the heat.
- Serve it hot with pulao or paratha.
