It was over a year ago, one of our neighbors had invited us for dinner. She made a chicken gravy with mint which was so good that I still remember the taste of it after a year. I meant to try recreate it, but never got to it. Finally I made it last week and it was so tasty. I don’t she followed the same recipe, I pretty much made it up.
Pictorial:
Marinate chicken pieces and keep aside.
Fry the ingredients for the paste and grind them.
Heat oil, fry onion, ginger-garlic paste and then tomato paste.
Add chicken, then mint, paste and cook till done.
