One of my family's favorite dish is this Hot & Spicy Chicken Masala. When I cooked a special rice, this was little spicy since I have used bird's eye chili in it but this is optional, you may omit if you can't stand the heat but trust me this tiny chili adds a special punch to the dish.
Looks complicated but actually it was easy to prepare. What you need is a blender/food processor to process the ingredients until smooth but I prefer to use my pestle and mortar to do the job.
Make sure to remove the skin and trim the excess fat from the chicken. If possible, blend the spices without water since the juice from tomato will aid the process. Hope you'll enjoy this Hot & Spicy Chicken Masala as much as we do!
