Notes

  1. Make some deep incision on the drumsticks and then marinate them. This will help the marinade enter inside the incision part nicely.
  2. Use medium size drumsticks or tangdi from a chicken. This type of tangdi get cooked quickly and properly.
  3. You can also use chicken leg quarters (whole chicken Leg).
  4. Keep it marinated atleast for 30 minutes. You can keep for longer duration or overnight for the best result. 
  5. Use hung curd (thick curd) or yogurt.
  6. For giving smoky flavor, use the charcoal smoking metho. Heat a piece of charcoal, place it over the tray and add few drops of butter or oil and cover it for 30 seconds to 1 minute.  Thia will enhance the flavor and taste of the dish more.
  7. You can swap the fresh cream with anyone of these - cheese or cashew paste or use both. paste
