Murg Angara

Since getting involved with new ventures, I barely have time to try out new dishes. Sometimes even when I do I don’t have the time to click pictures esp for my blog. Everyone has been on my case – Get the blog active again. Slowly and steadily I am attempting to again

I always land up trying new recipes in bakes but this time it was back to my first love – Cooking. Made this chicken angara inspired by a recipe video I had seen ages afo. It’s fiery in colour and u can choose ur spice levels without affecting the colour. The finale of smoking the dish using the dungar method is what takes it a couple of notches higher
