  • Then wash the chicken well and drain out the extra water and marinate this fine paste with the chicken.
  • Make a small slit in the chicken pieces so that the marinated spice can enter the chicken pieces. This will make the chicken more tender and juicy.

  • Then add 1tbsp ghee on top of the burning charcoal pieces and close the lid of the bowl containing chicken immediately.
  • Keep the chicken aside for two hours.

  • Now heat oil in a pan.
  • Then separate the marinated pieces of chicken from the marinade and fry them in a pan.
  • Remember to add the marinated pieces only but not the marinade now.
  • Fry and saute the pieces of chicken in a high flame until they turn golden brown.
  • After 7-8 minutes add the marinade and stir the meat well with the marinated spices.
  • When the oil starts to separate from the mixture, and the chicken pieces are fried well, add 150 ml of water and close the lid of the pan.
  • Cook on low heat for 5-6 minutes.
  • Now open the lid and sprinkle garam masala powder and dry roasted kasuri methi and cook for another two-three minutes and then turn off the gas.
