Finish and Garnish
For a richer, milder version (Murgh Adraki Malai), reduce the chili powder and stir in 1/4 cup of fresh cream or cashew paste during the last 2 minutes of simmering.
Substitute boneless chicken with bone-in, skinless pieces for a more flavorful and succulent curry. Increase the simmering time in step 5 by 10-15 minutes.
To make a semi-dry version (Sukha Adraki Murgh), omit the water in step 5. Cover and cook the chicken in its own juices and the marinade over low heat until tender, stirring occasionally.

The combination of ginger, garlic, and turmeric creates a powerful immune-supporting trio. Garlic is known for its ability to fight germs, while turmeric's active compound, curcumin, is a strong antioxidant that helps protect the body's cells.
Yes, Ginger Chicken can be a very healthy dish. It is high in lean protein from the chicken and packed with the anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits of ginger. To maximize its healthiness, use minimal oil and pair it with whole-grain flatbreads or brown rice.

Absolutely! Bone-in chicken will make the gravy even more flavorful. Simply increase the simmering time by 10-15 minutes to ensure the chicken is cooked through to the bone.
If your gravy is too watery, remove the lid from the pan and let it simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes. This will allow the excess liquid to evaporate and the gravy to thicken naturally.
Yes, you can. Follow the recipe until step 4. After sautéing the chicken for 5 minutes, add the water, secure the lid, and pressure cook on high for 2 whistles (about 8-10 minutes). Allow the pressure to release naturally before opening, then finish with garam masala and garnish.
