How to make Chicken Cooked in Banana Leaves Recipe
To begin making the Chicken Cooked in Banana Leaves, in a mixer-jar, combine the green chillies, coriander sprigs (stem as well), ginger garlic paste, cloves, peppercorns, star anise and grind to a coarse mixture.
In a mixing bowl, add the chicken, the freshly ground mixture, lime juice, red chili powder, turmeric powder, salt.
Make sure the chicken pieces are completely coated with the mixture. Let the chicken pieces marinate for two hours.
Once the chicken is marinated, cut the banana leaves into squares of 4 inch squares, so that you can make parcels. Now put the one chicken piece in one banana leaf piece.
Fold the leaf to make a parcel and tie it using a thread.
Heat oil in a pan, add the parcels into the pan and make sure you are not crowding the pan. Cover the pan and cook the parcels from both sides for at-least 15-20 minutes.
Open the parcels and serve hot.
