Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless chicken breast
• 100 grams Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Garlic paste
• 1 tablespoon Ginger paste
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Corn starch
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Oil
• 10 leaves Curry leaves
• 3 pieces Green chilies

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, garlic paste, ginger paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, coriander powder, lemon juice, corn starch, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and coat them thoroughly. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator for best results.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 5

Place the marinated chicken pieces on the prepared baking tray, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not overlapping each other.

Step 6

Lightly drizzle or spray the chicken with 1 teaspoon of oil to keep them moist.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden-brown color, turning them over halfway through.

Step 8

In the meantime, slice the green chilies and heat the remaining teaspoon of oil in a small pan over medium heat.

Step 9

Add the curry leaves and sliced green chilies, and sauté until fragrant and the leaves have become crispy.

Step 10

Remove the cooked chicken from the oven, and toss with the sautéed curry leaves and green chilies for an added burst of flavor.

Step 11

Serve hot as an appetizer or side dish, accompanied by a wedge of lemon for added zest.
