SIZZLING LEMON CHICKEN

It's so very cold out here, so all I look for these days are quick winter-warming foods much like this Chicken recipe, which is  is a delight in all aspects and both me and my husband enjoy it very much,it has a lovely ginger-garlic infused, yogurt based masala and the fresh tang of lemons, an excellent snack with drinks.

  • Cinnamon- few sticks
  • Cloves-2-3
  • Butter- 2 tbsp.
  • Fresh cilantro/coriander- a generous fistful
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method-
