1. Clean and wash chicken pieces with turmeric powder and keep aside. I have taken 3 leg pieces cut in between do that the masala get deeper inside.

   
2. Squeeze 1 lemon juice to the chicken.

   
3. Add 1 tsp salt to the chicken.

   
4. Mix well by hands till the salt binds well with the juice.

   
5. Add 1 tsp ginger garlic paste to the chicken in order to get the spiciness and the raw odour of the chicken gets less.

   
6. Add 1/3 tsp turmeric powder

   
7. Add 1 tsp garam masala powder

   
8. Add 3/4 tsp coriander powder

17. Turn sides and cook in low flame add oil if needed
