Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the cinnamon, cardamom pods, and cloves, and fry for 20 to 30 seconds, or until the spices are fragrant. Add the onion, and fry for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Add the curry leaves, chiles, ginger, and garlic, and reduce the heat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the garlic has softened. Add the chicken pieces, and stir fry for 3 to 4 minutes. Season the chicken, with salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Add the garam masala and enough boiling water to reach halfway up the chicken pieces. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to a low heat and simmer the mixture for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove the lid from the pan, turn the heat up to a high heat, and boil off any excess liquid, stirring continuously.
- Once the liquid has almost completely boiled away, add the grated coconut and the lemon juice, and stir well. Cover the pan again and continue to cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the chicken pieces are tender, and completely cooked through.
- Just before serving, stir in the chopped cilantro.

[email protected]I'm allergic to coconut, so I used crushed cornflakes instead of coconut flakes. It worked out great and I couldn't even tell the difference.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

[email protected]I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my coconut chicken turned out dry and overcooked. I think I might have cooked it at too high a temperature.

[email protected]I made this recipe with boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it worked out great. I also used a gluten-free flour blend and it turned out just as crispy as the regular flour.
