I have tried making green chicken once – fried mint, ghee, garlic, green chilli, kasoor methi, ginger, brinji leaves – fried them all.
ground them and made a paste – added salt to it & marinated chicken with this paste, then put the chickens in a stick and grilled them.
its called hara chicken tikka.
Sounds yummy…probably I should try that some time!
