- Shift the chicken to a mixing bowl or any other pot. Add all the marinade ingredients to it.
- Coat the chicken well by mixing all the marinade ingredients well with your hand. Place it in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours for marination. If you are short of time, keep it for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
How to Make Tava Chicken
- Heat the Tawa slightly. Pour ghee on it. You can use cooking oil or butter as a substitute. Heat the oil slightly.
- Pour the marinated chicken on Tawa. Fry it on a medium flame for 1 minute.
- To make the chicken tender with steam, cover it for 7 to 8 minutes. Keep flame low to medium.
- After 7 to 8 minutes remove the cover. The chicken will have released water.
- Dry this water on a high flame.
- When the chicken becomes dry, add blended onions and tomato (blended separately). Now cook on medium to high flame.
- When you get a one-tone texture gravy and oil starts separating turn the flame to medium. Fry the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes more. Fry it well to get the best taste.
- Now season it with black cumin seeds, dry coriander seeds (coarsely ground), and black pepper powder. Fry all things for 1 minute.
- Our Tawa chicken curry is ready now. Garnish it with chopped fresh coriander leaves, sliced fresh green chilies, and julienned ginger. Serve it hot and enjoy.
