Let’s begin with the dry chicken recipe:

🧅 The Aromatic Start:

🌶️ The Secret Behind the Sizzle:

What if dry-roasting spices could awaken not just flavor, but feelings?

In another pan, dry roast:

3 tbsp red chilli powder

2 tbsp dhania (coriander) powder

½ tsp haldi (turmeric)

Let the powders bloom in heat. Then mix them straight into the onions.

Use your hands. Yes, hands

Press, mix, feel. This is more than marination—this is memory making

Now add:

1 kg chicken

Required salt

Massage it in. Let the marination rest for 30 minutes

2 tsp grated fresh coconut

Chicken or meat masala powder
