Preparation:

Before Making Rajasthani Chicken Handi we have to prepare the recipe. In a bowl, put

the chicken pieces which are cut into cubes. Add yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric

powder, red chili powder, black pepper, red chili flakes, salt, and other items for

marination. Add roasted and crushed dry coriander, cumin seed, and fennel seed. Add

yogurt and karahi masala.

Mix everything until the chicken is coated evenly with the mixture. Cover the bowl with

plastic wrap or a lid. Put the bowl in the refrigerator and let the chicken marinate for at

least 30 minutes. This helps the chicken soak up all the flavors and makes the chicken

much more flavorful. After 30 minutes, your marinated chicken is ready to be cooked in

your Rajasthani Chicken Handi recipe.

This marination procedure ensures that the chicken is flavorful and tender when

cooked, making your dish delicious.

Cooking:

After the marination take the chicken out of the refrigerator and, then it's time to make

Rajasthani Chicken Handi. Heat oil or ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan or handi over

medium heat for some period of time until the oil gets hot.

Add chopped onions to the pan. Sauté until they turn golden brown. Add ginger-garlic

paste and sauté for some time until the raw smell disappears. Add chopped tomatoes.

and cook until they become soft, and the oil starts separating from the

masala.

Add the chicken along with the marinade to the handi. Mix well chicken with

the onion-tomato masala. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes at medium flame. Cook the

chicken until it changes color slightly. Check and stir occasionally to ensure even

cooking.

After that, lower the heat, cover the handi, and let the chicken cooked in the

yogurt-spice marination for about 20-25 minutes or until it becomes tender and the

aroma of the chicken starts coming. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking.

Once the chicken is cooked and tender, check for seasoning and adjust salt or other

spices if needed. When tender and juicy Rajasthani Chicken Handi is ready, then it's

time to add some garnish. Garnish the Rajasthani Chicken Handi with freshly chopped

coriander leaves, garlic (Julian Cutting), and kasuri methi (if using).
