Notes
- If available, use Kolhapuri chutney while making the spice paste.
- Yogurt or curd is completely optional, however, it helps in tenderizing the chicken. it also enhances the flavor.
- This dish calls for an overdose of chili, however, you need to adjust the hotness as per your requirements.
- I use vegetable oil. You can use mustard oil as well.
- Adjust the gravy based on requirements.
