Steps:
- 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.
- Add enough oil to generously cover the entire bottom of a large skillet; heat until a thermometer registers 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 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.
