Before you start
- Achari means pickled. The five whole seeds are the panch phoran of the pickle jar, and they go in whole, not ground.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for an hour if you have it.
Method
- Marinate the chicken in the yogurt, ginger, garlic, turmeric and salt for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Heat the mustard oil to smoking, then cool slightly. Splutter all five whole seeds together.Smoking first takes the raw bite out of mustard oil. Then let it cool or the seeds burn.
- Add the onion and fry until deep gold.
- Add the marinated chicken and chilli powder and fry on high 10 minutes until the yogurt tightens around the meat.
- Cover and cook 20 minutes on low until done, adding a splash of water only if it catches.
- Finish with the amchur and rest 10 minutes.
Safe temperatures: Chicken and duck are done at 74°C / 165°F, taken at the thickest part and clear of the bone. Reheat leftovers to 74°C / 165°F. FoodSafety.gov
