4) Does it certify to be an exotic dish - For Canadians yes for Indians no.

5) How to make the Dish?

a) Use a Kadaai (Round Bottomed dish) or any flat bottom Dish which according to basic physics laws you think would be able to contain all the ingredients minus 20 % of their size.
b) Heat the Dish on Full flame - Put 2-3 Full spoon of oil in the Dish.

e) Mix it all well and let the masala cook a lil - lets say 5-7 mins on medium flame (Keep it covered)
f) Put Tomato Puree or grated tomatoes into the dish and mix it well.
g) Cook till the entire masala takes an even color. (the longer this cooks the better - remember cooks not burns)
h) Put the chicken pieces washed once with water on to the masala and stir it once.
g) Put a lid on and let it cook for 15 mins on medium flame. Chicken would leave its own water so no need to add more water 'now'.
h) Move the chicken pieces upside down and let them cook a lil more.
* If u need more gravy add water at this time.
i) Put the green chillies - Whole piece with a vertical slit across it.
g) Put the gas off and let the chicken cook in its own steam for some time.
