I am sure many of you wouldn't have head of this recipe. This is a unique recipe that originated at a place called Agashi in Virar which is on the outskirts of Mumbai.
It's basically a process where chicken and potato roundels are marinated with select grinded spices, barbequed and then mixed with poha along with the magical masala.

A must try dish for it's unique combination of flavors.

Steps

1 hour 30 min

1

Grind the coriander and jeera seeds, add turmeric and salt mix it well.
2

Marinate the chicken with this mixture and leave it aside for minimum of 1 hour. (I prefer to refrigerate it overnight)
3

Prepare the magical masala by 1 st grinding cloves, cinnamon, cardamom and black pepper to a coarse, don't add water.. Now add garlic, green chillis and roasted coconut and pulse it coarse. Keep it aside.
4

After an hour put the chicken and potatoes on the skewers and grill it.. I grilled it in an oven for around 40 minutes at 200 C. It's should not be fully cooked as we will be cooking it further in the pan. Additionally, I covered the skewers with foil paper,. This helps retain the moisture in the chicken.
5

Take a wide bottom pan.. Add oil.. Once the oil is hot add sliced onions and cook till slightly golden brown.
6

Add the chicken and potatoes and give it a nice mix. Add around 2 tbps of water to it. Cover the pan and let it cook for 10 minutes.
7

Now add the magical masala, mix it well..add coriander and let it cook with the chicken for 5 minutes.
8

Add the poha, mix it well..cover it with a plate filled with water and let it cook for around 8-10 minutes.
