Something with Chicken

I suddenly realized that I have only shared my favourite recipes so far. I left my poor husband. My husband loves Chicken Badshahi.  Named after the Persian word for Imperial – this medium spiced curry certainly meets the grand expectations this name sets. Every time I make it for him he tells me I can make it for him every day and he’d be fine.  So this one is dedicated to my Husband.

Ingredients

1 Chicken, cut into pieces
1 Lemon, juice
2 Onions, thinly sliced 
400 ml Yogurt 
1 tsp Black pepper, ground 
2-3 tsp Chili powder 
1 tsp Turmeric

2-3 Cardamoms
3-4 cloves
1 inch Ginger, paste
2 cloves of garlic, paste
2 black cardamoms
A few seeds of whole black pepper

How to cook

Squeeze the juice of one lemon on the chicken and mix everything thoroughly.Marinate for 3 – 4 hours.
