Top class restaurant food at home! I just made this last night for dinner ! The moment I opened the lid of the 3 min process of the coal and oil, my house was full of aromas just like the ones at the restaurant! I already knew how well this is going to turn out to be.Thank you so much for such a lip smacking recipe. I baked them in the oven with butter and other vegetables . When I took a bite the chicken was so tender and was melting in my mouth ! Amazing amazing recipe! Lots of love from Texas !

I tried this today. It turned out yumm. Thanks for this recipe. It turned out just like restaurant. I had had this once at a dhaba and what i made today tasted exactly like it. The charcoal gave it that authentic flavour.

A few changes i made as per availability
- i used 1 cup hung curd and 1/4th cup milk instead of cream.
- Red chilli paste instead of green chilli
- Corn flour instead of corn starch.
- pepper jeera powder instead of pepper powder and a little extra than mentioned in the recipe.
- i used charcoal and butter as mentioned in the recipe, but if you dont have charcoal available use coconut shell in place of charcoal.

This recipe is fool proof. Thanks for sharing the recipe is such detail.

@YourFoodLab Chef Sanjyot, You usually recommend in your other recipes that chicken should be left overnight only with the first marination, which includes ginger and garlic paste. However, when curd is added, it tends to release water, which can loosen up the marination. In this recipe, you are suggesting that it be left overnight in curd marination. I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I tried this recipe and my husband loved it so much that he asked me whether it is pre marinated chicken from store😅 my husband has sharp taste buds. And he liked it
