Creating Methi Chicken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Wash and Prepare Methi: Rinse the fresh methi leaves under cold water and chop them finely. Set aside.
2. Heat Oil: In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
3. Sauté Onions: Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
4. Add Ginger-Garlic Paste: Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
5. Incorporate Tomatoes: Add the pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil separates from the mixture.
6. Spice It Up: Mix in turmeric powder, coriander powder, and green chilies. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
7. Add Chicken: Toss the chicken pieces into the pan. Stir well to coat the chicken with the spice mixture.
8. Cook the Chicken: Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
