Julienne Cut Lemon and Ginger Chicken Gravy

Assalamu alaikum everyone :-)

So here is my very own invention of chicken gravy which i made for my parents wedding anniversary. I have tried to use basic ingedients available in everyone's kitchen. This chicken gravy is very tasty and healthy as requires very less cooking time keeping the nutritional values. Alhamdulilah the taste is awesome and all the ingredients have their own health benefits. The ingredients are as follows:

Ingredients:

1. Chicken Boneless (Julienne Cut) - 1 kg
2. Cooking Oil - 1/2 mug (Makes 100 ml)
3. Salt - 2.5 tea spoon
4. Red Chili Powder - 2 tea spoon
5. Turmeric Powder (Haldi) - 1/2 tea spoon
6. Coriander Powder(Sokha Dhania Powder) - 1 tea spoon
7. Cumin (Zeera) - 1 tea spoon
8. Garlic Cloves - 6-8 (Make a paste)
9. Ginger 3+1 inch piece (make paste of 1 inch piece and finely julienne cut the 3 inch piece)
10. Onion (Julienne Cut) - 1/2 kg
11. Yogurt - 300 gms (Khati, tursh jese karhi k liye hoti hai)
12. Lemon Juice - 1/3 of a mug
13. Green Chilies 3-4 or to taste (Different variety has different spice level)
14. Lemon - 1

Method:

1. Bismilah :-)
2. Cut boneless chicken in julienne. Beautiful cutting makes the dish even more tasty and balanced. Use Frozen chicken. Uski cutting ziyada achi hoti hai. :-)
3. Cut onion in julienne.
4. Cut 3 inch ginger piece in julienne.
5. Make paste of ginger 1 inch and cloves of garlic. Add salt while making the paste. This will
make the paste smooth.
6. Heat oil in a pan and add this ginger garlic paste to that heated oil. Add red chilie powder first directly in oil. This will give the gravy beautiful red color but don't let it burn and add cumin in oil and coriander powder, turmeric powder. Add the chicken in oil. Mix it a little but don't turn too much or you will break it. Cook for 5-7 mins till it's half done and it will be stable by now. Now you can use spoon. Add the yogurt after beating it. Let it cook for sometime till the chicken is done. Add onion and lemon juice. Now let it cook for few more minutes. Your gravy will be beautiful red color without any food color.
7. Dish it out and add the 3 inch piece of ginger cut into julienne over your dish. Garnish with Green chili and lemon pieces. You can add them inside the dish too but that makes them soft losing their flavor plus makes them difficult for children to eat.
8. Serve with cold drinks and roghni naan.
9. Please try, enjoy and receive appreciation. :
