What it is
A delightful Bengali chicken preparation where chicken pieces are marinated in a blend of yogurt, ginger, garlic, green chilies, and whole spices, then slow-steamed to perfection. The 'Bhaapa' (steamed) method results in incredibly tender chicken and a luscious, light gravy without excessive oil. Ensure no potatoes are added.
Key ingredients
Chicken (bone-in or boneless), plain full-fat yogurt, ginger paste, garlic paste, green chilies, onions (thinly sliced), turmeric, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, bay leaves, mustard oil, salt.
If you order it anyway
MUST ensure no potatoes are added. Confirm use of full-fat, unsweetened yogurt. Request minimal sugar in marinades/pastes.
If you order it anyway, say this (Bengali)
