Steps

  1. Put slits on the chicken legs.

  2. Prepare the marinade by mixing yogurt, garlic, green chilies, cream, and all spices. Marinate the chicken in this mixture.

  3. Heat oil on a tawa or pan and place the chicken. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until a nice brown color is achieved.

  4. Add the remaining marinade, along with the garnish chilies and lemon slices.

  5. Cover and cook on medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the meat is fully cooked and oil separates.

  6. Keep changing sides during the cooking process to ensure even cooking.

  7. Serve with roti or rice.

Notes

Ensure the chicken is fully cooked before serving. The oil separation is a good indicator that the dish is ready.
