Marinate the chicken with yoghurt and the prepared spring onion paste. Add salt and sugar to taste. Let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes to one hour.
Heat oil in a pan and fry the chopped onions until they start changing colour. Add the marinated chicken and sauté well. When oil starts releasing from the pan, add a little hot water and cover it. Once the chicken is fully cooked, the green chicken curry is ready. Serve hot with roti or rice.
