Tips for a perfect red chicken recipe:

• For shaadi wala flavour, I have used homemade ginger and garlic paste.
• Homemade fresh coriander, cumin and garam masala powder for tasty red chicken.
• Marinating the chicken for at least 2-3 hours is crucial to allow the spices to penetrate and tenderize the meat.
• Use Kashmiri red chili powder for its distinctive red color. This chili variety imparts color without excessive heat.
• Fried onions contribute to the gravy’s thickness and flavor. Fry the onions slowly over medium-low heat until they are golden brown and crisp
• Almond and cashew pastes add richness and thickness to the gravy. Ensure the nuts are ground into a fine paste.
• The “dum” cooking method (slow cooking over low heat) is essential for tender chicken and well-blended flavors.
• Achieving a balance of flavors is key. Adjust the seasoning (salt, chili, and tanginess) as needed.
