Prep:
Soak 6 Dried Red Chilies in hot water for 15 minutes.

Once the chilies have soaked drain and add it to a mixer jar grind to form a smooth paste.

Wash the chicken thighs twice. Using a sharp knife place two or three slits in the chicken thighs.
Place the thighs in a colander to drain.

Add juiced lime, salt as per taste and massage the chicken well. Cover the chicken and allow to marinate for 30minutes.

Method:
Place a pan on medium flame.

Add 4 tbsp oil to the pan allow the oil to reach smoking point.

Place the flame on low and gently place the chicken thighs in the hot oil.

Cover the pan and cook the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes. Every 2 minutes keep flipping the chicken till the chicken has cooked.

Once the oil separates from the chicken using gentle hands scrap the bottom of the pan and apply the masala on the chicken and fry the chicken for every two minutes until roasted till desired consistency.

Plate the roasted chicken thighs and garnish with roasted sesame seeds.
