Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

  • For a deeper flavor and extra tenderness, marinate the chicken in yogurt, ginger garlic paste, and a pinch of Kashmiri chili powder for at least 1 hour before cooking.
  • If you want an extra-crunchy texture, fry thinly sliced onions until golden and use them as a garnish just before serving.
  • To enhance the tangy profile, add a splash of tamarind pulp or a squeeze of fresh lime juice towards the end of cooking, but avoid adding too early to retain their bright notes.
  • Leftovers taste even better the next day as the flavors meld; store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and gently reheat, adding a splash of water to maintain the sauce’s consistency.
