For Marination:
Whole Chicken(I used Rock Cornish Hen)
Onion bulb onion grated
Green chili 1 minced
Ginger-garlic paste 1/2 spoon
Yogurts/buttermilk
Salt
Turmeric powder 1/4 spoon
Chili powder 1 spoon
Pepper powder 1/2 spoon
Coriander powder 1/2 spoon
Cumin powder 1/2 spoon

In a shallow pan, heat ghee and throw in the whole spices. Add onions and tomatoes, fry real good, once it is aromatic, add the marinated chicken. Cover and cook.
Further add almond paste, continue cooking. Once oil shows up on the top, add the chopped cilantro leaves, remove from heat.

Lovely gravy, looks delicious!
Omg, wat a mouthwatering dish, looks super rich and creamy..
Dear malar
hats off to you on this dish…( I am left with few hats only after reading all your dishes so far)
Great one ..although I have many recipe having this name but never dared try them so far, it is tough but nothing is that tough for you in the kitchen at least ..I am sure .
Have a great lazy sunday
whole chicken recipe is new for me.. too tempting..
yucca halwa with pumpkin seeds is innovative..
I have never cooked an entire chicken without chopping! Does the salt go all the way in with just slits? Any other trick for marination? That too cooked whole chicken in a pan! How do you know its cooked through without cutting some? Thermometer like in oven? Anyway, looks really cool!
