1 Cucumber; peeled and chopped
1 Thai green chilli; up to 2
- (optional)
2 md Roma tomatoes; chopped
2 tb Fresh lemon juice
Black salt; to taste;
- substitue with normal salt
1 pn Roasted cumin powder
- (optional)

Wash the chicken pieces and pat dry using a paper towel. Using a sharp
knife, make incisions all over in the chicken. Set aside.

In a small sauce pan, lightly dry roast the pomegranate & dry
chillies. Once roasted tip into your coffee blender and grind to a
fine mixture. If using ready-made powder, roast the powder too.

In a bowl, add the ground pomegranate & chillies along with rest of
the marinade ingredients and mix well to combine. Rub this all over
chicken and, transfer chicken to a glass/plastic bowl, cover with
cling film & let marinate for alteast 6 to 7 hours, refrigerated.

Once marinated, in a cast iron skillet or any heavy bottomed pan, add
the oil and let it heat on high. Add the chopped onions to the
skillet and cook the onions till golden brown. About 5 to 7 minutes.
Once the onions are golden brown, tip in the marinated chicken to the
pan along with all marinade. On high heat, sear the chicken for 5 to
8 minutes flipping it so that its lightly browned on all sides. Once
seared, reduce the heat to medium and let the chicken cook in its own
juices until completely done. About 10 to 12 minutes.

Note: This time will depend on how thick/big or small your chicken
pieces are. Please adjust accordingly.

Once the chicken is tender, remove from heat & mix in the garam
masala. Cover the skillet with a aluminium foil and let sit for 8 to
10 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, green chillies, and serve
with kachumer or on own or with rice/flatbreads.

Kachumer (Indian Salsa):

Combine all the chopped vegetables in a bowl. Add fresh lemon juice
and cumin powder (if using). Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Add salt before serving, mix well.

Note that you can decrease or increase the quantity of vegetables
from what I have mentioned. The quantities above are what I generally
use.
