Methi seeds                                   ¼ tsp

Mean while, dry roast coriander seeds, cumin seeds, methi seeds, pepper corns till nice aroma comes and becomes light brown.   Then add  red chillies fry for 1 or 2 min in low flame. Grind this with tamarind and garlic with little water to a thick fine paste.
Heat non stick pan add half ghee,  when it becomes hot add marinated chicken pieces and cook till almost done.
Remove chicken pieces and keep aside. To same pan add remaining ghee  and the masala paste, fry till raw smell goes and ghee separates from masala. Then  add cooked chicken pieces, curry leaves, salt and coriander leaves. Cook till the chicken coat all masala  and gravy thickens. Mix well and turn off the gas.
Note:  this is very spicy ...u can use oil also for this recipe. If you prepare it  from ghee u get the real taste of Mangalorean  chicken ghee roast.
