method

1. Clean and wash the chicken breasts. Make deep incisions near the bone of the chicken breasts. Keep aside.

2. For the filling, heat the oil in a pan; add mustard seeds and curry leaves; saute for a few seconds. Add the mince and cook for about 5 - 6 minutes.

3. Add salt, red chilli powder, garam masala, and coconut. Stir-cook for a few minutes. Remove from heat and keep aside to cool. Stuff the chicken breasts with the prepared mixture.

4. Heat the oil in a pan; add 2 stuffed chicken breasts, at a time, and saute till golden brown on both sides. Remove and keep aside.

5. For the curry, heat the oil in a pan; add cumin seeds and saute for a few seconds. Add ginger-garlic paste and saute for 1 minute.

6. Add salt, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, and coriander powder; cook for another minute.

7. Stir in the yoghurt and tomato puree and stir-fry on medium heat. Add the brown onion paste and cook till the oil leaves the sides of the pan. Add water and bring to the boil; simmer and cook till the curry reduces to three-fourths of the original quantity.

8. Add the chicken pieces to the curry and allow to cook for 10 - 12 minutes. Remove from heat.

9. Carefully lift the chicken pieces from the curry and place on a serving platter. Pour the curry on top and serve hot, garnished with tomato and black peppercorns.
