Notes

  • Chicken has to be marinated for at least 30 mins.
  • Ginger Garlic paste to be roasted until the raw smell is gone for the best output.
  • Fry the onions on a high flame stirring continuously; this will help in saving some time.
  • Curd makes chicken soft and moist hence adding curd in marination is essential.
