Two-Stage Marination Magic
First marinate chicken with ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, and salt for 20 minutes to tenderize the fibers. Then introduce spiced hung curd for rich, deep flavor penetration.
Brown the Onions (Bhunao Process)
Take your time browning the onions to a deep golden amber. The slow caramelization forms the foundational flavor base and rich color of authentic Indian meat gravies.
Simmer on Low Flame for Juicy Meat
Keep the heat on gentle low-medium once the liquid is added. Rapid boiling contracts muscle fibers and dries out poultry meat.
