Now I am going to demonstrate how to prepare Methi Murgh

Cut the chicken into Indian curry cut and wash the chicken properly and marinate the chicken with salt and turmeric powder for about 30 minutes. 

After 30 minutes deep fat fry the chicken till it's golden brown in colour.

Slice the onions and mix with salt to extract all the water or moisture from the onions. Once the moisture is released deep fry the onions till golden brown and crisp.

Make ginger garlic paste.

Make the cashewnut paste.

Chop the tomatoes into small dices.

Take a deckchee or kadhai and heat refined oil. Add the ginger garlic paste and fry for about 2 minutes. 

Make a brown onion paste by mixing golden brown onion slices and sour curd. Now add this paste to the kadhai where the ginger and garlic paste is getting fried.

Then add the chopped tomatoes and the wet masalas made from paste of turmeric powder, red chilly powder and coriander powder. Stir the gravy continuously as it might get stuck or burned at the bottom of the kadhai. 

When the gravy starts to release oil, add the cashewnut paste and mix well.

Then add the fried chicken and keep cooking till the chicken is properly cooked and tender.

Wash the Methi leaves properly and fine chop the leaves and add to the gravy.

Now the Methi Murgh is ready to serve.

Garnish the Methi Murgh with broiled Kasuri Methi and serve hot.
