Ingredients

  • 1 kg chicken
  • 3 tbsp yogurt
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 2 tsp ginger garlic paste
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp red chili powder
  • 3/4 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp chaat masala powder
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Remove the skin of the chicken and wash well. Pat dry. Draw stashes over the chicken's thick parts.
  • Whisk together ingredients from yogurt to chaat masala powder in a bowl.
  • Put the chicken in and coat well. Cover with a cling film and marinate for as long as possible, preferably overnight.
  • Steam the chicken in a steamer for 15 minutes before deep frying it, which is the traditional way. I used my air fryer at 200 degrees for 40 minutes.
  • Serve hot with a generous sprinkling of chaat masala.
