Makki Ka Soheta
The soheta is a spicy combination of corn and chicken. It also can be prepared with bajra (millet) instead of corn. In Rajasthan, a sour vegetable called 'kachri' is used. Since it is not available all over India, so here we have used pomegranate seeds instead of Kachri.

Onions - 150gm
Sliced boneless chicken cut into small pieces - 500gm

Green Chillies - 6nos
For Grinding :
Pomegranate seeds - 1tbsp
Ginger - 2.5 "
Garlic cloves - 10 nos
Dry red chillies - 6nos
Turmeric - a small piece
