Notes
1. You can adjust red chili flakes, black pepper, and green chili according to your taste.
2. I used chicken with bones, but you can use boneless chicken.
3. Usually, people just fry the chicken and make the devil. But, I personally like to boil the chicken before frying them. So that you can feel the tenderness even inside the chicken pieces.
Instructions
1. Clean, rinse, and cut the chicken into medium-sized pieces. Add ginger and garlic pastes, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix and let them marinate for 30 minutes.

5. Heat the oil in a pan and add minced ginger, minced garlic, curry leaves, and green chilies. Sauté them for one minute under high flame.
6. Then, add onion, tomato, and banana pepper. Sauté them for two minutes under high flame. Stir frequently.
7. Now, add fried chicken pieces, red chili flakes, and crushed black pepper. Mix and stir them for one minute under a low flame.
