- 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons salt
- ½ tablespoon red chili powder
- 1 tablespoon coriander powder
- ½ tablespoon garam masala
- ½ tablespoon turmeric powder
- 1 small cup mustard oil
- 500 grams chicken

For Cooking the Chicken:

- 250 grams mustard oil
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
- 2 dry red chilies
- 2 medium-sized onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 2 teaspoons Kashmiri red chili powder
- 2 tomatoes, puréed
- 1 cup water
- Crushed kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)

Instructions:
00:00 - Intro

00:18 - Marinating the Chicken:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, ginger paste, garlic paste, cumin paste, green and red chili paste, lemon juice, salt, red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, and mustard oil. Mix everything well and coat the chicken pieces evenly. Cover the bowl and marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results!).

01:57 - Cooking the Chicken:
Heat mustard oil in a large wok over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and dry red chilies, and let them sizzle. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown. Then, add salt, turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and Kashmiri red chili powder. Stir everything together to release those amazing flavors!

03:30 - Making the Gravy:
Add the tomato purée to the onion-spice mixture and cook until the oil separates. If it starts sticking, add 1 cup of water to prevent burning.

03:59 - Now, add the marinated chicken, stir, and let it cook for about 15 minutes. Keep stirring at intervals to ensure the chicken is cooked evenly and absorbs all those wonderful flavors.

05:40 - Finishing Touch:
Add crushed kasuri methi to the chicken for that extra flavor boost. If you prefer a little more gravy, add 1-2 cups of water. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes, and you’re done!

06:47 - Garnish & Serve:
Garnish your Kadai Chicken with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve it hot with naan, roti, or steamed rice.

Enjoy!
