Ingredients

• Boneless chicken thighs - 300 grams

• Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tablespoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt to create a marinade.
2. Wash and chop the fresh methi leaves, then add them to the marinade and mix well.
