Fenugreek seeds (Methi)   1/2 tea spoon

Recipe:

• Cut the chicken into 1-inch cube. You can either boil or roast it in an open fire or pan fry. But roasted chicken will give the best taste. Cooking time for chicken is 15 to 20 minutes while roasting or pan-frying and 10 to 15 min while boiling. Alternatively, you can use rotisserie chicken, remove skin and bones and then shred it into small pieces and then air-fry it for 10 mins. 
• For boiled chicken remove all the water and let it cool for some time. Till then make other spices ready.
• Either roast tomato in gas or boil it and peel off its skin (roasted tomato taste better than boiled one). Smash it with hand or make a paste in the grinder after cooling it.
• Take a bowl and transfer chicken into it. Add salt, chilly flakes, tomato paste,  coriander powder, cumin powder, chopped onion, garlic/ginger paste. And mix it well and leave it for a while so that it absorbs all the spices.
• Finally heat oil in a pan, when it is hot enough then add fenugreek seeds and cook  it until its color changes to black. Turn off the flame and add turmeric in the oil.  Pour this oil into the mixture finally add lemon juice and mix every thing well. Garnish with coriander leaf, some sliced tomatoes, and onions

Delicious Chicken Chhoila is ready to serve.
