Ingredients

• 4 chopped red onions
  
  4-5 Tbsp malt vinegar
  
  1 slit green chilli
  
  4 chicken legs
  
  
  For the Chicken Marinade:
  7-8 cloves
  
  1/2 tsp black peppercorns
  
  1/2 stick cinnamon
  
  1 tsp cumin seeds
  
  1 heaped tsp coriander seeds
  
  1 inch ginger
  
  7-8 cloves of garlic
  
  4 slit green chillies
  
  Few mint leaves
  
  1 tsp turmeric powder
  
  1/2 tsp jaggery
  
  1/2 lime (juice)
  
  2 Tbsp ghee

Method

Put the chopped onions and 1 green chilli in a bowl with the malt vinegar and set aside.

Make insertions/slits on the chicken legs.

Dry roast the spices in a pan.

Put the spices in a mortar and pestle and grind into a nice powder.

Dry roast the aromatics- ginger, garlic and green chillies.

Mix this in with the powder and grind into a nice paste.

Add some mint leaves, jaggery and juice of 1/2 a lime to this spice paste.

Pour a few teaspoons of ghee onto the chicken and rub in the marinade. Put into the fridge for
2 hours or so. Then bring the chicken to room temperature and season well.

Heat a tava with some oil and sear the chicken on a high flame till nicely colored, turn down
the heat and fry gently, deglazing with a little water to prevent the masala from burning, until
it's a nice golden brown colour.

Baste with ghee/butter and lime juice and cook till the chicken is tender and cooked perfectly.
Scatter over some fresh coriander and serve with the sirca pyaaz, green chillies and lime wedges.
