Step-by-Step Preparation
Step 1: Marinating the Chicken
- Wash the 100 chicken legs thoroughly and drain the water.
- Add chilli powder, turmeric powder, and salt, and mix well.
- Pour curd (yoghurt) over the chicken and mix until all the pieces are coated.
- Cover the bowl and let it rest—this step ensures maximum flavour!
Step 2: Preparing the Masala Base
- Heat oil in a large pan.
- Add cinnamon, cloves, star anise, and cardamom, and sauté until aromatic.
- Drop in bay leaves for added flavour.
- Add small onions and sauté until golden brown.
- Slit and toss in green chillies, followed by fresh curry leaves.
- Add chopped tomatoes and let them soften.
- Season with salt to balance the flavours.
- Pour in the ground onion paste and cook until the raw smell disappears.
- Stir in ginger-garlic paste and sauté until fragrant.
Step 3: Cooking the Chicken
- Once the masala is well-cooked, add the marinated chicken to the pan.
- Stir well so the chicken soaks up all the flavours.
- Pour a little water to help the chicken cook through.
- Let it simmer until the chicken turns tender, juicy, and coated with rich masala.
