Chicken Afghani recipe with creamy white gravy and smoky flavour served with naan – homemade Afghani Chicken


📝 Ingredients – For Marination Chicken Afghani 


  • Chicken (with bone) – 500 grams
  • Hung curd (thick dahi) – ½ cup
  • Fresh cream – ¼ cup
  • Ginger garlic paste – 1 tbsp
  • Cashew paste – 2 tbsp (10 kaju bhigo ke blend karein)
  • Lemon juice – 1 tbsp
  • Black pepper powder – 1 tsp
  • Garam masala – ½ tsp
  • Kasuri methi – 1 tsp (crushed)
  • Salt – as per taste
  • Butter – 1 tbsp
  • Charcoal – 1 piece (for smoke, optional)



👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Chicken Afghani Recipe:


🔹 1. Chicken Marinate Karein


Sabhi marination ke saman ko ek bade mixing bowl mein daalkar acche se blend kar lijiye, taaki chicken har taste ko soak kar sake. Chicken ko acche se coat karke kam se kam 2 hours ke liye fridge mein rakh dein.

👉 Overnight marination se aur bhi achha flavour aata hai.


🔹 2. Chicken Cook Karein


Ek heavy pan mein butter garam karein. Marinated chicken daal kar medium flame par cover karke 15–20 minutes tak cook karein. Chicken apna pani chhodega aur gradually soft ho jayega.


🔹 3. Optional: Smoky Flavour (Dhungar Method)


Ek charcoal ko open flame par lal hot hone tak jalaayein.

Phir usse ek chhoti steel bowl mein rakhein, ghee daal kar fumes banayein.

Is bowl ko cooked chicken ke beech rakhkar 5–7 mins ke liye lid se dhak dein.


Is tarah se chicken mein ek dum authentic Afghani-style smoky flavour aa jaata hai, jo taste ko next level tak le jata hai.


🔹 4. Final Creamy Touch


Chicken almost cook ho jaaye toh thoda sa fresh cream daal kar mix karein.

Serve karne se pehle thodi si kasuri methi upar se chhidak kar chicken ko high flame par ek minute ke liye bhun lijiye – isse aroma aur bhi nikharke aata hai.
