BHATTI DA MURGH (INDIAN GRILLED CHICKEN)

Our expert mix of whole spices is created to be a perfect complement to the texture of grilled meat and guaranteed to leave you with a taste you want again and again.

INSTRUCTIONS
Marination:
- First, let us prepare the ginger-garlic paste by removing its moisture. Do this by putting your ginger and garlic in a kadhai over medium heat and stir frying with mustard oil.
- After cooling the ginger-garlic mix, make it a paste and add to the hung curd.
- Take your preferred chicken pieces in a wide and deep bowl after cleaning. Leg and thigh pieces are recommended. Make angular incisions with a sharp knife for infusing with masala and salt.
- Put the hung curd on top of the pieces, and then add red chilli powder, EarthSpice Bhatti Masala, EarthSpice Garam Masala, Mustard oil, and salt to complete the marinade.
- Mix the chicken pieces thoroughly with the curd and spice powders. Ensure a nice thick coating so that the flavours get absorbed deeply into the pieces.
- After coating the pieces fully with the marinade, leave for 6-7 hours or overnight. Marinating properly is important to achieve the richness of flavour and the tenderness on the inside of the pieces. Earth Spice masalas preserve a fresh and uniquely herbaceous flavour in your perfect Bhatti da murgh dish.
Grilling:
- Now it’s time to crisp up your deliciously marinated chicken pieces on a charcoal grill or OTG. Charcoal grills are recommended because of the smoky flavour they bring to the dish.
- Make suitable batches of chicken pieces for grilling. Turn them over once as you continue to roast for 5-7 minutes. Keep basting the pieces with desi ghee as you go.
Garnish with a dash of lime juice to add a citrusy zest and bounce against the spicy crispiness of the roasted chicken.
