Steps:
- Pat dry the chicken, make some gashes on the chicken thighs. Rub it well with lemon juice. ginger garlic paste & salt. Set aside for 30 minutes. In the meanwhile prepare the cafreal masala.
- In a blender/grinder, add all the ingredients listed under cafreal masala and make a smooth paste using water as required. I used a little more than 1/4 cup water.
- Apply half of the prepared marinade to the chicken and let it marinate 2-3 hours or overnight preferably. Reserve the remaining marinade in the refrigerator.
- Before you cook the chicken, remove it out from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Heat butter and oil in a pan. Once it is hot, add the chicken pieces, cook until golden brown on both sides.
- Then add the reserved marinade along with 1/2 cup water, cook covered on medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken pieces. When the chicken is almost done, cook uncovered, till the gravy dries up a bit and the masala coats the chicken well.
- Once done, sprinkle lemon juice and serve hot along with some potato wedges, lime wedges, and salad.
CHICKEN CAFREAL
Galinha cafreal or chicken cafreal is a classic dish that's often included in Goan Christmas and other noteworthy celebrations, accompanied by bread or rice. This dish is widely believed to have its origins in Mozambique and was brought by the Portuguese to their former colony of Goa in India. The signature hallmark of this dish is the fragrant concoction of spices and fresh herbs that's used as the marinade and then cooked to form a very thick "dry" sauce, in which most of the water is driven out through evaporation to form a thick, flavorful coat on the chicken. Typically, the potatoes are fried, but boiling them in water and then roasting them in the oven produces a creamier interior and crispy exterior.

Steps:
- Prick the chicken all over with a fork and place in a resealable plastic bag or large bowl.
- Cut 1 onion into quarters and transfer to a blender. Reserve 2 tablespoons of cilantro leaves for garnish, then add the remaining cilantro leaves and stems to the blender along with the garlic, ginger, chile, cloves, lime juice, coriander, cumin, peppercorns, cinnamon, fennel and 1 teaspoon salt. Pulse on high until the mixture is smooth. (You might need to add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water and give it a stir to get the ingredients to move.) Pour the blended mixture over the chicken in the bag, seal or cover, and refrigerate to marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours.
- About 45 minutes before you are ready to cook the chicken, prepare the potatoes: Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Peel the potatoes and quarter them lengthwise. Add them to a large saucepan, cover them with cold tap water by about 1 inch, and add 1 teaspoon salt.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are just tender, about 5 minutes. A knife should pass through the center of the potato with only slight resistance. The potatoes should not be too soft or they will fall apart during seasoning.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a large baking sheet and discard the water. Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes, then season them generously with salt and pepper. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of oil over the potatoes and toss gently to coat. Spread the potatoes out and roast them until golden-brown and crispy, about 30 minutes. If the potatoes are cooked before the chicken, remove them from the oven and cover them with foil to keep warm.
- While the potatoes roast, cook the chicken: Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high. Chop the remaining onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the chicken with its marinade and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pot to prevent burning, until the thighs are golden brown, completely cooked through, and most of the liquid has dissipated, leaving behind a thick coating (or dry sauce), about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a serving plate, garnish with the reserved cilantro leaves and serve the potatoes on top or alongside.

- Wash the chicken and cut it into large pieces. Rub with salt and set to aside.
- Combine chile peppers, cilantro, garlic, ginger, tamarind, poppy seeds, cumin seeds, cinnamon, cloves, peppercorns, and turmeric in a large mortar. Crush into a paste with a pestle.
- Rub chicken with the paste on all sides until completely covered. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or 8 hours to overnight for best results.

Fry chicken pieces in batches until golden brown on the outside and no longer pink at the bone, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Drizzle with lime juice before serving.

- Rinse, clean and if you use boneless, cut the chicken into bite size strips. If you use thighs, make some cuts with a knife into the meat.
- Massage the paste into the chicken and marinate the chicken covered in paste for 1 hour. (The longer you keep it marinated the better, I usually keep it for some hours for the best result)

Increase the heat and add in the chicken with the marination and cook the meat on both sides evenly for a few minutes, then add in water.
