This recipe is perhaps the biggest surprise I've had to chicken. Without any doubts this will top my list of the most delectable, easy and healthy chicken recipes of all time.
It wasn't a simple decision to try this though. Glancing through Priya's recipe the very thought of spending time cooking a chicken without ABSOLUTELY no spices scared me. The only I reason went ahead was to accommodate my low spice tolerant teamie Aqeel. And boy, was I happy for the first time to be wrong.
And the bigger problem is I just can't explain how such few ingredients can infuse so much taste. This also goes into my list of recipes to go with beer or drinks.

Ingredients
- 1 kilogram chicken , boneless and diced
- 1 onion , diced
- 1 tomato , diced
- 2 tablespoons ginger , grated
- 1 tablespoon garlic , grated

- 4 tablespoons green chilli , fresh and thinly cut

Instructions

- Once you feel the water's all gone, add some vegetable oil and stir up until its brown.
- Once brown add water till the chicken just submerges. Or maybe a little bit more.
