500 gms boneless chicken cut from the brest,  half-cup curd, 6 cloves garlic, grounded. 1 piece ginger, grounded with the garlic 1 teaspoon dried fenugreek (methi)3 tablespoons cream or top of the milk 3 tablespoons of grated cheese (optinal) 3/4 teaspoon salt red chili powder to taste juice of one lime chaat masala or garam masala. Wash the chicken well. Lightly beat the curds, mix into it all the ingredients except the lime juice and garam masala or chaat masala. Into the curds mixture, drop the chicken, make sure you rub it into each piece. Let it soak for at least 5 to 6 hours, if possible, overnight. To cook, put the chicken along with the marinate onto the fire. After it comes to a boil, reduce heat to very low, and cook for 20 minutes to half an hour. The chicken pieces should get cooked through but should not break up. The liquid should be almost gone. You can make the recipe to this stage in advance.  When you are ready to eat, put the grill in your oven on, either skewer the chicken pieces, or put them on an
oven tray, and put under the grill for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven tray onto a plate, and dress with the lime juice, and chaat or garam masala. 
This chicken freezes successfully, and you can make it in larger quantities if you want. Serves Two to Three.

Ingredients:
Dough for chapattis, made with two cups flour. Oil  Pinch off two small pieces of dough, each about the size of a walnut. Roll out to a small circle, about three inch in Diameter. On one side of one circle, smear a little oil, put the other circle down on the oily side, press down lightly. Dust with dry flowers Roll out the two circles, now stuck together to a big circle, almost the size of your rolling board. This will be surprisingly easy to do since you have two together. Put the chapatti on the hot pan. When one side seems cooked, turn it over to the other side and bake. Press down gently with a clean cloth, if needed to ensure even cooking. Take the chapatti off the fire, and separate the two. They will pull off very easily because of the oil you smeared before cooking. Fold each chapatti into a triangle, and keep covered in a clean cloth till you are ready to eat. Makes about 20 to 22 chapattis.

Use any vegetable you choose. For example, you can use thinly sliced potato, or egg plant, cauliflower broken into florets, spinach leaves, or chopped onions. 250 gms of basan (chickpea flour)

You can add as many dipped-dipped vegetables as your frying bowl allows. Drain the pakoras on absorbent paper, and serve hot with sauce.
