Ingredients:-

1 kg chicken cut into 8-12 pieces

For Marination:-
½ Cup Fresh Curd
¼ Cup Fresh Unsweetened Dairy Cream
2 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
½ tsp Garam Masala
1 tbsp Chaat Masala
1 tbsp Roasted Dry Fenugreek
Salt as per taste
2 tbsp Lemon Juice

For Smoke Infusion:-
1 Piece Charcoal

For Garnish:-
Red Chillies
Lemons
Mint Leaves


Method:-

Take a pan and toast the fenugreek lightly for 30 seconds to a minute till crisp. After toasting transfer it to a bowl and let it cool down.

Marination:-
In a large bowl add curd, dairy cream, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, chaat masala, roasted fenugreek, salt (as per taste) and juice of half a lemon. Mix all these ingredients nicely to make a creamy marinade. Cover the chicken pieces with the marinade properly.

Smoke Infusion:-
Light up wood charcoal by placing it straight on the burner. Once the charcoal starts burning put it in a bowl and place that bowl in the marinated chicken. Add some oil and once the charcoal starts smoking cover the marination bowl with the lid immediately.

Cooking Chicken:-
Heat the oil in a pan on a moderate flame. Carefully add the marinated chicken to the pan. Flip the chicken pieces after a minute. Scrape off the residual marinade from the pan. Once the marinade from the pan dries up add the remaining marinade and give it a mix. After 3-4 minutes add in some water and reduce the flame. Cover the pan with a lid and let the chicken cook for 10-12 minutes on low flame. Then remove the lid and baste the chicken pieces with the reduced marinade in the pan. Turn the flame off after a minute.
Garnish:-
Chop some red chillies, lemon and fresh mint leaves and garnish the dish.
