For the roast

3. Coconut oil – 4 – 5 tbsp

4. Onion – 1 medium-small, thinly sliced

5. Potato – 2 small, sliced

6. Curry leaves – 2 sprigs

7. Ginger-garlic green chilly paste – 1 tsp

8. Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp

Kashmiri chilly powder – 1 tsp

10. Hot water – 3/4 cup

11. Freshly ground pepper powder – 3/4 tsp or to taste

Garam masala powder – 1 pinch

12. Salt – To taste

Method

1. Heat 4 – 5 tbsp coconut oil in a heavy-bottomed pan at medium-high heat(I used a wide non-stick pan). Add the thinly sliced onion and fry until brown, stirring in between. It takes about 10 minutes. Drain on to a paper towel. Add the potato pieces and fry them. Add salt when they are half-done. Transfer to a paper towel when they are completely done. Next fry curry leaves until crisp. Set aside.

2. In the remaining oil, fry the chicken pieces in on both sides until browned on all sides. Drain on to a paper towel and set aside.

3. To the same pan(add more oil, if required, we need only around 2 – 3 tsp oil), add the coarsely ground mixture and saute until their raw smell leaves and  mixture turns light brown. Add the chopped tomatoes. Mix well and cook until tomato is mashed up and oil separates. Now add the fried chicken pieces and 3/4th of the fried onion. Mix well and add 1/2- 3/4 cup hot water. Cover and cook for 10 – 15 minutes. Add half of the fried potatoes and mix well. Next add fresh ground pepper powder, a pinch of garam masala powder and mix well. Switch off. Serve with pulao, rice or chapatis.
