½ cup curd (yogurt)
1 tsp cumin (jeera) powder
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp tandoori masala (optional but recommended)
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1 tbsp olive oil (or any cooking oil)
2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves (dhaniya patta)
For cooking:

Chicken pieces
Lemon juice
Curd
Jeera powder
Garam masala
Tandoori masala
Salt
Ginger garlic paste

2. Mix everything well so the chicken is nicely coated.
3. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for better flavor).
🔥 Step 2: Cook on Tawa (Flat Pan)
1. Heat 1–2 tbsp oil on a tawa or nonstick pan on high flame.
2. Place marinated chicken pieces in a single layer on the pan.
3. Sear the chicken on high flame for 4–5 minutes to get a nice charred edge.
4. Then reduce heat to low-medium flame.
5. Cover (optional) and cook for 5–8 minutes until one side becomes dark brown and cooked.
6. Flip the pieces and cook the other side until browned and fully done.
7. You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is soft, juicy, and dry.
