This is a typical Mughlai cuisine.Normally boneless chicken slices are used to make this recipe.But it can also be done with bite sized curry cut pieces.Normally this recipe gains it's authenticity from the use of aromat spices and curd in marination. Serve pasanda with pulao or any Indian flat bread.
