Tips from the Chef (E‑A‑T Focus)

  • Expertise: Always use heavy-bottom pan or iron tasla for even heat and best sear.
  • Authoritativeness: Marinate at least 30 minutes; longer marination = deeper flavour.
  • Trustworthiness: Use fresh butter and fresh cream for authentic richness; reheating slowly on low flame preserves texture.
  • Smoke step (dhuaan) optional but recommended for restaurant-style taste.

FAQs — Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Kya main boneless chicken use kar sakta hoon?

A: Haan, bilkul. Boneless se cooking time kam ho jayega (10–12 minute) aur texture thoda different hoga — with-bone version zyada flavour deta hai.

Q: Dhuaan dena zaroori hai kya?

A: Smoke dena zaroori nahi hai, lekin yahi ek step hai jo dish ko asli Dilli street food ka andaaz deta hai.

Q: Cream substitute kya ho sakta hai?

A: Fresh malai ya hung curd ka thick part use kar sakte ho; agar dairy-free chahiye to coconut cream (thoda sa) try karo lekin flavour alag rahega.

Q: Ye recipe kitni spicy hai?

A: Medium spicy — apne taste ke hisaab se Kashmiri red chilli aur green chillies adjust karo. Spicy version ke liye extra green chillies aur red chilli powder add karo.
