Zero Oil Methi Murg
Advertisement
While I still believe that diet is only one aspect of one's fitness goals and there is no substitute for regular exercise, a gradual realization has began to set in that some of us may not be able to workout given certain restrictions. Plus a busy schedule also prevents people from working out regularly. Hence, it becomes important to adopt healthy cooking methods and recipes that utilize less oil and provide maximum nutrition.
This 'Zero Oil Methi Murg' recipe has been adopted from Sukhi Singh's recipe 'Methi Murg' which he claims to be his family's favorite. It turned out to be one amazing dish when I tried it out. And I decided to experiment a bit with it and transform it into one 'guilt-free' recipe. It took two trials to get it right but I finally nailed it.

- Now add the retained water to the wok and cover with a lid till the chicken is cooked through.
- Rub the kasuri methi between your palms and add to the wok along with the garam masala and the sugar. Adjust salt if required.
