Grilled chicken

Ingredients

• Wash,clean and drain the chicken (In this recipe i have used the legs).
• Make few cuts on the chicken using knife.

To marinate:

• Chilli powder 1/2 tsp
• Salt to taste
• Coriander powder 1/2 tsp
• Garam masala 1/2 tsp
• Gg paste 1/2 tsp(optional)
• Pepper less than 1/2 tsp
• 1/4 tsp oil

Method of Preparation

1. Marinate the chicken with the above ingredients and let it sit for 2-3 hours/overnight (I kept them in the freezer for 2 days- its tastier as the chicken is soaked in the marinade for a longer time, it gets juicer).
2. Heat the pressure cooker and add oil(i used just 2 tsps). Use APR.
3. Add the chicken pieces to the cooker and cook on both sides for 1/2-1 minute. Let the water come out of the chicken.
4. Now sprinkle little water , 2 tbsp to be exact and close the lid.
   Stop exactly after 1 whistle.
5. Once the pressure gets released from the cooker, transfer the chicken pieces to a pan/grill pan.
6. Pour the remaining water too and cook on low for 5 mins each side or until the water evaporates.
7. Now increase the flame and grill the chicken pieces for 2 mins each side. (Or)
8. If you have a chapathi wire pan grease it wil oil and grill the chicken pieces on both sides using direct flame(this step is optional- it was good by increasing the flame and grilling in the pan).

Serve hot with chopped onions and lemon.

Note:

• Juice of half lemon can be used to marinate the chicken. Hubby doesnt like it so skipped it.
• 1 whistle in pressure cooker only not more not less.
• Marinating overnight makes your chicken juicer and tender.

You can serve it with palak chapathi & mixed veg raita for dinner ♥️😋
