Notes

  1. If you have dry whole kashmiri chilli and whole coriander seeds use that when roasting.
  2. Grind the masala till very smooth.
  3. Take care to roast the spices in low heat, else it may get burnt and turn bitter.
  4. Cook the chicken low and slow in the spices so it stays soft.
  5. Use chicken with bones for best flavour.
  6. Make sure you cook the whole dish in ghee for best flavour.
