Banana Leaf Wrap Chicken | Sanjeev Kapoor Khazana

Slit the chicken breast into half and then cut each piece into half again.

Marinate the chicken with lemon juice, salt, and crushed black pepper, and rub it properly.

Cut the vein out of the banana leaves and discard it.

Prepare the coconut mixture by blending garlic cloves, green chillies, and cumin seeds.

Add scraped coconut and roughly chopped fresh coriander to the blended mixture and blend again until the desired consistency is achieved.

Add salt and lemon juice to the coconut mixture and mix well.

Place the coconut mixture on the banana leaf, spreading it not completely in the center.

Place the marinated chicken piece over the coconut mixture and cover it with more coconut mixture.

Fold the banana leaf like a parcel and prepare the rest of the chicken in the same manner.

Heat a pan and add a bit of oil.

Place the banana leaf parcels in the pan with the folded side down and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on one side.

Flip the parcels and cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes on the other side.

Check if the chicken is cooked properly after 4 minutes and then remove it onto a serving plate.
