Calcutta Style Chicken Chaap Recipe

Chicken chaap is a Mughlai recipe and a specialty of Calcutta. In this preparation a whole small size chicken (approx.500-600 gms) is cut into four pieces, followed by marination and slow cooking. It is an absolutely delicious chicken side dish. The chicken pieces are so juicy, tender and at the same time, the aromat creamy masala is just a delight for chicken lovers. For garam masala powder, I will suggest using freshly homemade to get the exact flavor. For your better understanding, I have explained the complete process in step by step. Follow each step to get the best result. Ingredients for this recipe are mentioned below.

Take the chicken legs and make small cuts all over the chicken pieces with a knife. Just like pockets, so that the masala goes inside.

Beat the curd well. Mix all the ingredients written for marination together. Mix well.
