• Chicken: 1 kg (Karahi cut, haddi ke sath behtar zaiqa deta hai).
• Dahi (Yogurt): 1.5 Cup (Achi tarah pheta hua).
• Lemon Juice: 4 Bare chamach (Fresh lemon ka ras).
• Kali Mirch (Black Pepper): 1.5 Bara chamach (Taza moti kuti hui).
• Adrak Lehsun Paste: 2 Bare chamach.
• Hari Mirchein: 5-6 adad (Darmiyan se kati hui).
• Makkhan (Butter): 2 Bare chamach (Flavour aur chamak ke liye).

Cooking Instructions: Banane Ka Mukammal Tareeqa

1. Marination Ka Pehla Marhala

Sab se pehle chicken ko achi tarah dho kar dry kar len. Ek baray bowl mein chicken, pheta hua dahi, adrak-lehsun paste, namak, aur sirf adhi (1/2) kuti hui kali mirch shamil karen. Isay achi tarah mix karen aur kam az kam 30 minute ke liye fridge mein rakhen. Marination se chicken narm (tender) banta hai aur masalay andar tak jazb ho jate hain.

2. Chicken Searing (Teiz Aanch Par)

Ek gehri karahi mein oil garam karen. Jab oil halka garam ho jaye to marinate kiya hua chicken shamil kar den. Zaroori Instruction: Shuru ke 8-10 minute teiz aankh (High Flame) par pakaen. Teiz aankh par pakanay se chicken ka pani foran khushk hoga aur wo bahar se golden aur andar se juicy rahega.

3. Dum Par Pakanah (Medium Flame)

Jab chicken ka rang badal jaye aur dahi ka pani garha hone lage, to aanch ko darmiyani (Medium) kar den. Karahi ko dhakkan se dhak den taake chicken apne hi steam mein gal jaye. Isay 10-12 minute tak pakanay den. Alag se pani dalne ki bilkul zaroorat nahi hai.

4. Bhunai aur Masala (Roasting)

Jab chicken gal jaye aur oil oopar nazar aane lage, to dhakkan hata den. Is mein kati hui hari mirchein, zeera powder, aur safaid mirch shamil karen. Ab darmiyani aanch par 3-4 minute tak chicken ki bhunai karen jab tak gravy daanedaar aur creamy na ho jaye.

5. Final Touch aur Dum

Aakhir mein aanch ko bilkul halka (Dum wali flame) kar den. Is mein bachi hui Kuti Kali Mirch, Fresh Lemon Juice, aur Makkhan shamil karen. Karahi ko dhak kar sirf 2-3 minute ke liye Dum par rakhen. Yaad rakhen, kali mirch aakhir mein dalne se karahi ka rang kaala nahi hota.
