🔥 Traditional Cooking Method (Step-by-Step)
1️⃣ Heat the Oil (Key Flavor Step)

Heat mustard oil in a heavy iron kadai or clay pot.

Let it smoke lightly, then reduce heat.

👉 This removes rawness and gives signature village aroma.

2️⃣ Fry Whole Spices

Add bay leaf, dry red chilies, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves.

Let them crackle slowly.

🎧 ASMR cue: gentle popping, oil whispering.

3️⃣ Onion Bhuna (MOST IMPORTANT)

Add chopped onions.

Cook on medium-low heat for 15–20 minutes.

Stir continuously till deep brown and oil separates.

👉 This slow caramelization gives natural sweetness and depth.

4️⃣ Ginger-Garlic + Green Chili

Add ginger-garlic paste and green chilies.

Fry till raw smell disappears and oil rises.

5️⃣ Spice Layering

Add turmeric, Kashmiri chili powder.

Add the ground village spice paste.

Fry patiently (bhuna) 5–7 minutes.

👉 Oil must separate, masala should turn dark and aromatic.

6️⃣ Chicken Goes In

Add marinated chicken.

Mix well, coat every piece.

Cook uncovered 8–10 minutes on medium heat.

🎧 Sound: chicken sizzling, masala sticking then releasing.

7️⃣ Slow Cook (Village Soul)

Add water just to cover chicken.

Cover and cook on low flame 25–35 minutes.

Stir occasionally.

👉 Country chicken takes time—this is where flavor builds.

8️⃣ Final Touch

Add crushed green chili and coriander leaves.

Drizzle ½ tsp raw mustard oil.

Simmer uncovered 5 minutes.

🍛 Final Texture & Taste

Thick, oil-separated gravy

Dark reddish-brown color

Smoky, spicy, earthy

Meat tender but firm (not falling apart)

🫓 Best Served With
