Chicken Marination:

  • Mix all the ingredients well and make sure that the chicken is well coated with the marinade.
  • Cover the bowl with a cling wrap and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

For Preparing Gongura:

  • Take two large bunches of Gongura leaves and wash them thoroughly under running water.
  • Add the washed Gongura leaves to a kadai or a pan.
  • Add green chilies, coriander, and salt to taste to the kadai.
  • Close the lid and cook on low heat until the Gongura leaves are soft and well cooked.
  • Once the Gongura leaves are well cooked, transfer them to a blender and blend them to a coarse paste. Set it aside.

Cooking Process:

  • Take the same kadai in which the Gongura leaves were cooked and add two tablespoons of oil to it.
  • Once the oil is slightly hot, add the marinated chicken to the kadai.
  • Mix the chicken well and cover the kadai with a lid.
  • Let the chicken cook on low heat for about 10 minutes or until the oil starts to separate.
  • Once the oil starts to separate, add tomato puree to the kadai and mix well.
  • Cover the kadai and let the chicken cook for another 10 minutes or until it is fully cooked.
  • Keep stirring occasionally so that the bottom does not stick or burn.
  • Now add the Gongura paste to the kadai and mix well.
  • Let the chicken and Gongura paste cook together for a few minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh coriander and mix well.
  • Dish out and serve hot with rice.
