👨🍳 Instrukcje
- 1
In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with yogurt, ginger paste, garlic paste, onion paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, cumin powder, salt, and mustard oil. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator.

Gently wilt the banana leaves by passing them over a low flame or dipping them in hot water. This makes them pliable and prevents tearing. Cut them into appropriate sizes to wrap the chicken portions.

Place a portion of the marinated chicken onto a banana leaf. Add a slit green chili on top. Fold the banana leaf to enclose the chicken securely, forming a neat parcel. Tie the parcel with cotton thread to prevent it from opening during cooking.

You can cook the parcels in several ways: \n- Steaming: Place the parcels in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.\n- Grilling: Grill the parcels over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked and the leaves are slightly charred.\n- Pan-frying: Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan and cook the parcels on medium-low heat for about 10-12 minutes per side, until the chicken is cooked through. Be careful not to burn the leaves.

Once cooked, carefully open the banana leaf parcels and serve the chicken hot, with the aromatic juices from the cooking. It pairs well with steamed rice.
