Notes

1. To avoid splitting of yogurt, you can add a teaspoon of cornflour and whisk well before adding it to the recipe.
2. If you want thin gravy, then more warm water can be added. You can also use boneless chicken to make this recipe.
3. To make methi chicken dry, do not add water to the recipe and allow the chicken to cook in its own juice until it reaches its required consistency.
4. Adjust the spiciness of the gravy as per your liking
