Bhuna Chicken

Ingredients:

3 chicken drumsticks medium size 

3/4 tsp red chilli powder

11/4 garam masala 

1 tbsp soy sauce 

1 tbsp ginger garlic paste 

1 tbsp juice of lemon 

1/2 tsp pepper powder 

Method Of Preparation:

1. Was the drumsticks nicely & pat them dry. Poke them on all sides with a fork so that all the flavors can get into the chicken & make it nice, juicy & flavorful 

2. Marinate the drumsticks & keep it covered in the countertop for an hour 

3. Grease a non stick tawa with some oil(put a tsp of oil on a napkin & dab it on the tawa)

4. Put the drumsticks on the tawa & cook covered on medium flame till the the chicken releases water & all the water from the chicken dries up & the chicken becomes a little brown on the sides.

5. Check to see if the chicken is cooked, if it hasn't then sprinkle a few drops of water on the drumsticks & cover & cook again for 10 minutes or till it gets cooked.

6. Now open the lid & cook the chicken on high flame for 2-3 minutes. Keep turning sides so that the chicken gets the burnt color on all the sides. 

7. Turn off the gas 

8. At the end when the chicken is cooked & you turn off the stove, the spices should have stuck to the drumsticks & there shouldn't be any water or oil oozing out of the spices. It should be dry & should have coated the chicken nicely.

9. Serve with lemon wedges, onion rings & 

mint-coriander chutney.
