Notes
It is best to marinate the chicken pieces overnight with yogurt, spices and lemon juice. Keep it in the fridge. This will blend the flavor of the spices and the yogurt will soften the meat.
I fry the marinated chicken pieces with onions to light golden brown in color. This will add to the texture and taste of the gravy.
Slow cook the dish on a low to medium heat for best results. This will help the flavor to infuse perfectly and the gravy get its desired texture and ensure even cooking to help the chicken pieces become tender.
Alter the spices as you want. Use whole spices and grind them at home.
