Critical Success Points

  • Frying the chicken until golden brown develops the base flavor.
  • Covering and simmering ensures the bone‑in chicken becomes tender.
  • Adding yogurt on low heat and tempering prevents curdling.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – keep a lid nearby.
  • When adding yogurt, reduce heat to low to avoid curdling.
  • Use a sharp knife carefully while slicing ginger and chilies.
