Last weekend I went to dinner to my friend's house and she made this yumy chicken fry that reminded me of the chicken my mom used to make.I was spell bound (tastespell bound..:) ) by her chicken so much I made it the next day after coming from dinner and it turned out awesome.

2 tbs oil,
2 -3 tsp grated coconut,
1-2 tsp garam masala powder.
for garam masala:
1inch cinnamon stick,
6-8 cloves,
1tbs coriander seeds,
grind all these 3 ingredients to make garam masala.
method:
