Then add the drained chicken, saute well on high. Then add salt and turmeric powder. Let it cook on high for the moisture to evaporate.
Once the chicken is almost dry, add the ground spice powder all over the chicken pieces and simmer. Combine everything well and cook in sim for 15 - 20 mins.

I would not mind this spicy chicken in this cold weather. I actually marinated chicken for a gravy and wondering if I should make this instead. Yum!

Well...I like this very much. I like all the spices and cook with high heat. But the only problem for me is always that it is always too spicy to me for Indian food. Thinking to omit the dry red chilies totally or add paprika powder instead. Because I know that dry chilies are extremely hot. 🙂
