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

2) Then, heat oil in a flat pan and shallow fry (put them in and when one side gets brown and crusty, turn the pieces over and let the other side get cooked) the marinated chicken pieces till golden brown. (Note: When frying the pieces, put the flame or heat to a medium-high setting so that u ensure the chicken gets cooked properly while frying on both sides).

3) Pat dry the fried chicken pieces with paper towels to remove excess oil.

4) Garnish with sliced onions (lengthwise cut) and lime slices before serving. Serve hot.

An excellent starter/appetizer and a good side dish with biryanis/other rice dishes.
