- Heat a pan with the oil, add the curry leaves and add the chicken. Sear it on high flame for 6-7 minutes
- Add the coriander powder, the garam masala and sprinkle some water, to deglaze the pan. Mix well, cover and cook over medium flame until the chicken is completely cooked. However, keep stirring in intervals so that the chicken doesn't burn
- When cooked, switch the flame off drizzle the lime juice and coriander leaves. Mix and keep covered for two more minutes

Notes
- Do give the drumsticks a few slits so that the marinade penetrates well and it cooks faster
- The kashmiri red chilli powder is for the colour and not heatÂ
- Keep sprinkling hot water, time to time, in case the chicken pieces start sticking to the pan
