Leave the chicken aside for 15 to 20 minutes for marination.

Prepare the second marinade by mixing 1/3 cup of coriander leaves, 1/4 cup of mint leaves, 1 green chili, and dry spices in a blender.

Add chopped ginger, garlic, 2 spoons of toddy vinegar, and some salt to the blender.

Add half an onion to the blender to make the marinade viscous.

Add cumin seeds, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, green cardamom, cloves, and a cinnamon stick to the blender.
