3. Saute the marinated chicken in 2 tbsp oil until chicken is 3/4th cooked. Drain out on a kitchen towel and keep it covered until used to prevent drying.
4. For the sauce, blanche the tomatoes in boiling water for 5-7minutes until the skin starts peeling off. Put them in an ice bath to cool. Peel the skin of the tomatoes and blend in a mixer. Seive through a colander to remove seeds. Keep this tomato puree aside.
