Chicken Chaap

Got this recipe from the net and it was a superb one. The best part is the gravy which is finger lickin' good. :-) Planning to do this with some fried onion next time.




Ingredients


  • Chicken - 1 kg, cut into big pieces
  • Hung card - 1/2 cup

  • Mustard oil - 2 tbsp 
  • Ghee - 1 tbsp

Make a paste of ginger, garlic with all the chillis and a tbsp of curd.



Marinate the chicken with this paste along with the remaining curd overnight.
