  10. Mustard seeds- 1/2 teaspoon
  11. Curry leaves- 8-10
  12. Oil- 1 1/2 tablespoon

Method:
  1. Cook the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper with 1/4 cup water, and water is absorbed completely.
  2. Coarse grind coconut,chilly powder,turmeric powder,chicken masala, 5 curry leaves,keep aside
  3. Heat oil in a pan,splutter mustard seeds, red chillies.
  4. Add the thinly sliced onions and saute till soft.
