Critical Success Points

  • First marination of chicken (acidic mix) – ensures tenderness.
  • Grinding a smooth green herb paste – prevents grainy texture.
  • Keeping the reserved marination liquid for the gravy – adds depth.
  • Preventing the gravy from scorching while boiling – stir continuously.
  • Low‑heat simmer to finish cooking – avoids dry chicken.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw chicken with clean hands and sanitize all surfaces to avoid cross‑contamination.
  • Hot oil can splatter – keep a lid nearby and never leave unattended.
  • If using charcoal, ensure proper ventilation and keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
