Spicy Chicken Kosa

Last few days my husband is having runny nose so he wanted to have some really spicy Chicken. I made some simple Chicken Kosa but with a twist. While cooking I didn’t add Red Chili powder I just cooked the chicken with lots of green chili and at the end of the cooking I added some fresh Lime juice which made the dish very spicy and tangy. With Roti or Paratha this one is a perfect combo for a cold winter day.




After having the chicken my nose also started runny but we enjoyed every bite while eating. But if you can’t eat spicy food then just add one or two green chilies. But Green chili is always better to use instead of Red chili powder. 




Preparation Time: 20 mints.
Cooking time: 40 mint.

Ingredients:

1.Chicken : 600 gm (cut and wash).
2.One medium onion paste, A small chopped onion.
3.One table spoon ginger & garlic paste.
