You can also use <a href=\"https:\/\/bayevskitchen.com\/tag\/chicken-breast\/\">chicken breasts<\/a>, but in this case you need to adjust the cooking time so as not to dry them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Onions<\/strong> &#8211; yellow or white, to your taste or whatever you have on hand. Onion &#8211; medium to large size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ginger <\/strong>&#8211; you need a thumb-sized piece of ginger for the listed amount of ingredients. Fresh ginger can be substituted for ~1\/2 tsp. dried ginger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Garlic<\/strong> &#8211; medium to large cloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Peppermint <\/strong>&#8211; Peppermint, only the leaves will be used, the stems are too tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cilantro<\/strong> &#8211; both leaves and stems can be used. Some of the leaves will be used to decorate the finished dish. 20 g is about 10 &#8211; 12 sprigs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The cream<\/strong> is 33%+ fat. But considering that we are going to strain the sauce through a sieve all the same, we don&#8217;t have to worry much about curdling, so you can use a less heavy cream, losing a little bit of flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yogurt<\/strong> &#8211; ideally we should use buffalo milk yogurt, but alternatively we could use Greek yogurt. The higher the fat content, the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Garam masala<\/strong> is an Indian blend of ground spices that is widely used in Indian cooking. It includes cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, coriander, and black pepper, although the composition may vary depending on the recipe or region. You can substitute curry powder or take equal parts of the above spices and grind them into a powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spice mix<\/strong> &#8211; since all of these spices are part of garam masala, using them is an optional step. But to my taste, saturating the oil with this mixture makes the flavor richer and &#8220;fuller&#8221; as they reveal differently in whole and ground form. You can vary the amount and ingredients used, exclude something or substitute something. You can also add 1\/2 tsp. turmeric and\/or 1\/2 tsp. zira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lemon<\/strong> &#8211; the juice and zest are used. You can add it to the marinade or at the end of cooking. In the first case, it will have a stronger effect on the taste, and in the second case, there is less chance that the sauce will curdle. I add it to the marinade and strain the sauce from the curdled protein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chili<\/strong> &#8211; an authentic Afghan chicken recipe uses green chili, it&#8217;s smaller in size but spicier. I substitute the same amount of red. Alternatively, you can take 1-2 tsp. ground chili powder or chili flakes, or 0.5 &#8211; 1.5 tsp. <a href=\"https:\/\/bayevskitchen.com\/roasted-chillie-powder\/\">ground roasted ground chili<\/a> and bird&#8217;s eye mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vegetable oil<\/strong> &#8211; any neutral vegetable oil suitable for frying: refined sunflower oil, olive oil, rice bran oil, corn oil, etc., as well as melted butter or ghee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/bayevskitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/afghan-chicken-2479-1024x1280.jpg\" alt=\"Afghan chicken\" class=\"wp-image-68769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bayevskitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/afghan-chicken-2479-1024x1280.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bayevskitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/afghan-chicken-2479-360x450.jpg 360w, https:\/\/bayevskitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/afghan-chicken-2479-120x150.jpg 120w, https:\/\/bayevskitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/afghan-chicken-2479-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bayevskitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/afghan-chicken-2479-150x188.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bayevskitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/afghan-chicken-2479.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;&#x1f52a; Step by step Directions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Take <strong>2 chili peppers<\/strong>, <strong>1 onion<\/strong>, <strong>6 garlic cloves<\/strong> and <strong>3 cm of ginger root<\/strong>.
