Add the marinated chicken and set the marinade aside.
Stir the garlic over high heat till light brown.
Add the ginger juliennes, black pepper powder, green chillies, remaining yogurt and the marinade, cook for 4-5 minutes. You could add a a touch of honey if needed to balance out the flavours.Â
Add 1/2 a cup of warm water and the lime leaves, continue to cook till the chicken is tender.
