Cooking Steps
Steps
Step 1 : For Marinade
Marinade the chicken with hung curd, ginger garlic paste, powder cumin powder, red chilly and lemon juice. I added a teeny weeny bit of food colour. Set in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight.
Step 2 :
Take the marinade out, add in some salt and Grill the chicken in a pre heated oven for about 45 minutes covered with aluminum foil.
Step 3 :
Turn the chicken pieces every 15 minutes and collect the juices that are released from the chicken in a bowl and save it for the curry.
Step 4 :
Grill the chicken further for another 20 minutes uncovered. We cover the chicken so that the moisture is not evaporated from the chicken otherwise it would become too dry.
Step 5 :
The last 20 minutes are grilled uncovered for the color and for the outside of the meat to become little crisp.
Step 6 : For the Gravy
In a pain heat oil, add in cardamom and bay leaf. After about a minute, add onion paste, ginger garlic paste. Fry for about 2-3 minutes. Add in chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder and nutmeg powder.
Step 7 :
Sauté it for about 5-7 minutes on med flame till the paste is nice and brown. You may add 2tbsp milk if the paste gets too dry.
Add in about a tablespoon of butter, tomato puree, sugar and flour paste.
Step 8 :
Mix it well. Pour in the saved chicken stock collected from the oven. Increase the heat till the sauce is boiling. If you feel the sauce is too thick, you may add milk to adjust the consistency.
Step 9 :
Add in the chicken pieces. Wait for a quick boil and switch off the flame. While serving you may add in one teaspoon of butter and rotate the serving bowl so that the melted butter runs evenly in all directions.
