Dhaba Style Chicken Makhani

Presenting here a typical North Indian style Chicken aka Murg Makhani, some juicy, succulent Chicken pieces in a rich Buttery Gravy with the lovely smell of spices and distinct flavor of Kasuri Methi. When I served it to my family, hubby declares that it is of 'Dhaba' standard, hence the name ' Dhaba Style Chicken Makhani'.

Now add the grilled chicken and fry continuously till chicken is cooked. you may have to add some hot water, but make sure the gravy is not too watery. When chicken is almost cooked, add the cream and kasuri methi soaked in water.
