Notes

I have taken a boneless leg piece to make this dish. You can use chicken breasts as well.
Be generous with the garlic to make this dish. Do not use garlic paste.
Do not use too much water in this dish. It is meant to have thick gravy.
I have used all-purpose flour in the recipe. You can replace it with corn flour if you want.
Always let the chicken rest a few minutes after marinating so the salt and pepper flavors soak in properly.
