METHOD FOR GIVING SMOKING FLAVOUR
INGREDIENTS
- Natural charcoal [koyla] small piece.
- ½ tsp ghee.
- Small steel bowl.[katori]
- Pan with a lid.
METHOD.
Take a small piece of natural charcoal and burn it directly on the top of the stove burner on high flame with a help of tongs. Keep rotating the charcoal so that it burns from all sides.
Place the burning charcoal in a small steel bowl [katori].
Place the bowl in centre of the pan in which the fried chicken legs are kept.[as shown in the pic]
Now add a tsp of ghee to the hot charcoal.
The coal will start smoking , immediately cover the pan with the lid for 30 seconds.
The smoke gets trapped inside the chicken giving it a smoky tandoor flavour.
FOR GREEN CHUTNEY – grind together coriander leaves + mint leaves + garlic + ginger + green chilli + curd + lemon juice + salt into a fine paste
NOTES
For perfect taste marinate it for 12 hrs.
Adjust masala pwdrs as per your taste.
Use mustard oil.
