  • Remove the skin of the chicken, wash well and pat dry. Draw slits all over the chicken.
  • Grind the ginger, garlic and curry leaves into a paste, without adding any water. Mix pepper and salt into it.
  • Rub all over the chicken well. Keep aside covered with cling film for at least an hour.

You can simply substitute the grinding part with 2 heaped tbsp ginger garlic paste and finely chopped curry leaves. You can even skip the curry leaves if you don't like it's taste.
