Method
Add all the ingredients required for the chicken marinade and mix well to combine. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
Blend all the ingredients required for the green chilli paste. It should be a smooth paste.
To a pan/pot, add oil, followed by the curry leaves, cumin seeds and garlic. Saute until the garlic starts to turn lightly golden brown, around 2 minutes.
Add the marinated chicken and mix to combine well. Once the chicken starts to stick to the bottom of the pan, after around 5 minutes, add the soy sauce and mix.
