I have already posted a recipe for Dry Chicken however it is slightly different from this in which I have also added Cashewnut . Do check that out as well Dry Chicken with Cashewnuts.
- Step 21
The Malwani Masala that is used for this recipe is a blend of dried red chillies and various other spices. It is easily available in any of the Indian spice stores. In case you do not find it, you may alternatively use Deggi Mirch powder. However for this particular style of chicken tastes best with the Malwani Masala .
