Pudina (Mint) has a cool sensation and its medicinal properties are well known.I am sure very few could resist this refreshing, pleasant flavor. It is used in curries, chutneys, salads and dressings. This chicken dish is flavorful and spicy and is perfect side dish for  ghee rice of chapathi

 Chilly Powder- 1 tsp

Clean and cut chicken into small pieces. Marinate it with chilly powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, gram masala, salt and lemon juice and keep it aside for half an hour.

Cut onion into thin slices and make a paste of ginger, garlic , coriander leaves and mint leaves.

Heat oil in a non-stick pan and drop in fennel seeds and allow it to get roasted. Roast garlic-mint paste till there is a nice aroma. Add onions and saute till golden brown. Add the marinated chicken and stir fry for a minute. Cover and cook for four to five minutes. If you feel the chicken is too dry, sprinkle 2 tbs of water. Cover and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
