Ingredients:

pepper powder : 1 tea spoon
Cumin powder : 1 tea spoon
Salt : 1 tea spoon

Curry leaves : 5-6
coconut oil : 2 table spoon

Mix all the ingredients for marination, marinate it on chicken and keep it aside for 15 minutes
Slice onions, tomato and green chilli
Heat oil in a frying pan and saute onions in it.
When the onions become transparent, add tomato and green chilli to it. Saute it again for 2 minutes.
Add marinated chicken and all powders to it. Add curry leaves and add 1/2 cup(around 100 ml) of water to it. Add salt and stir well.
Cover the pan. Stir it occasionally for the chicken to be cooked well.
When the chicken is almost cooked, remove the cover and cook it in medium-high flame and let the remaining water evaporate. (stir it occasional for faster result)
After the water gets evaporated and you have a semi gravy, turn off the stove and have your delicious dish.

Tips:
Add some grated cocunut just before turning off the stove, stir it and then turn off the stove. Great value addition!
