The main essence of handi chicken comes while cooking in an earthen pot. If you don't have the earthen pot, console yourself by cooking in your available wok.
It is such a preparation that can be experimented in several ways. This is my kind of an experiment with handi chicken where I have kept it in a simple way. Enjoy it with any Indian breads or Pulao.
