Chicken Chargha Recipe By Shireen Anwar

Chicken chargha is a whole chicken with skin marinated with spices. It is steamed and then deep fried in hot oil. It Tastes good if served with rice and yogurt dip. One whole chargha can serve up to 4-5 people. You can make tandoori masala at home or you can also use shan tandoori masala for this recipe. I served chargha with spinach rice or palak rice.
