White wine vinegar - 2 tbsp
Sugar - 1 tsp
Cumin - 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

Method: 

- Marinate chicken pieces in salt and sour lime juice

- Spread this paste too over the chicken and keep at room temperature for about 2 hours.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the chicken pieces and saute for 10-12 mins (or more) until chicken turns brown on edges
- Halfway through add the potato slices so that they too fry with the chicken.
