How to Make Changezi Chicken
- To marinate the chicken, take the chicken pieces in a bowl. Add yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for 1-2 hours.
- Heat oil in a pan. Fry the marinated chicken until lightly golden and set aside. (You can also serve this as a snack with lemon and chaat masala.)
- In the same pan, heat butter and oil. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add finely chopped onions and fry until golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and fry for 1-2 minutes.
- Now add chopped tomatoes and green chilies and cook until the tomatoes soften. Add dry spices like coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Then add cashew paste and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the fried chicken to the gravy and cook on low heat for 10 minutes. Crumble dried fenugreek leaves and add them to the gravy. Finally, add fresh cream, mix well, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and garnish with coriander leaves. Serve hot Changezi Chicken with naan, tandoori roti, or jeera rice.
