METHOD TO PREPARE SPICY ACHAARI CHICKEN
 
 
Begin by marinating the chicken with a little bit of curd, turmeric powder, salt and keep it aside for 20 minutes before you begin preparing Achaari Chicken.
 
For basic masala preparation pour oil in a non-stick pan. Add chopped onion and salt. Salt will help in releasing the moisture and let the onions cook a little faster. Saute till golden brown. Now add some ginger, garlic paste along with tomatoes, red chili powder, green chilies and saute for a minute.
 
Now slow the gas and put the lid on for 3-5 minutes. Once all ingredients mingle within each other remove the lid and add fresh yogurt or curd into it. Whisk the mixture, cover the masala with lid and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes. Once the masala gets perfectly cooked, mash it and add chicken pieces in it.
 
Mix well, cover it and let it be cooked for another 15 minutes. Once it is done, slow the flame and sprinkle garam masala and chopped mint over it.
 
METHOD TO MAKE ACHAARI SEASONING

 
 
Take another pan and add mustard oil. Add some crushed red chilies, mustard, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, pepper corns and fenugreek seeds and crushed coriander seeds.
