Lavanya's Methi Malai Chicken

1) Marinate chicken in a little bit of yogurt and ginger garlic (Not usual level we use for marinating. Use only little - 1/3 of what we usually use).

2) Cut onions into rings. Do not cut lengthwise. Only into rings.

3) Heat little butter in tava and fry the onions and set them aside to cool.

4) Fry green chillies in tava and set them aside too.

5) Fry the chicken peices in the butter and set them aside.

6) Grind the fried onions, green chillies along with some almonds.

7) In the remaining butter, add cloves and cinnamon and add some very finely chopped onions and fry till onions are brown.

8) Then add a bunch of fresh methi leaves chopped finely and saute them till they turn vibrant green and are fully cooked.

9) Now add the fried chicken and saute for 2 minutes.

10) Then add the ground onion, green chilli and almond paste and let it cook for 2 minutes.

11) Add some beaten yogurt/cream and cook till done.
