Instructions
- To prepare the chargha, first, mix together all of the spices and yoghurt in a bowl.
- Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get under the skin as well. Then, drizzle the lemon juice and vegetable oil over the chicken.
- Allow the chicken to marinate for at least an hour. Ideally, it should be marinated overnight for the best results.
- You need to steam and deep-fry the chicken to achieve the same smoky flavour.
- In a large pot, add a steamer rack. Then, add hot water but make sure that it doesn’t come in contact with the steamer.
- Tie the chicken legs with rope or twine and place them on the steamer. Make sure that it doesn’t touch the water.
- Allow the chicken to be steamed for 45 minutes and cover the pot with a lid.
- Now take the steamed chicken and deep fry it in a deep pot with oil. Let the chicken be thoroughly fried for at least 5 to 6 minutes until it attains a golden brown colour.
