Notes
- There are two marination process in this recipe, The more you marinate the more tastier it will be. You may even marinate overnight for extra taste
- Marination makes the chicken tender, soft and juicy and all the flavours are soaked in the chicken well
- Gram flour needs to be roasted on a lowest flame stirring continuously until aromatic
- If you have Chula at home or a barbeque you can roast or cook these pieces over them
- For those who dont have a chula, oven or a barbeque they can roast it on the gas stove.
- If you brush some butter or ghee on the chicken pieces while roasting it enhance the taste and flavour.
