Methods
  • 1. Let's perform Chicken's first Marination: Add 1 tsp. Salt, ½ tsp. Turmeric Powder, Lemon Juice and mix well. We will keep Chicken in this marination for 30 minutes.
  • 2. We will dry roast Whole Spices. In a pan, add Bay Leaf, Cinnamon stick, Peppercorns, Black Cardamom, Green Cardamom, Cumin Seeds and Cloves. Dry Roast lightly. As the spices release aroma, switch off the heat and grind it into fine powder.
