@zishan ali khan , thanx. Recipe can be used for vegetarian dish by replacing chicken with paneer, potato, capcicum etc.

Unusual, but a tasty recipe. I dry fried the chicken pcs in a nonstick pot on low heat, the fat from the chicken is enough to fry the chicken till it is light bown. Give this a try before proceeding with the rest of the recipe.
