Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare the Marinade Base

   In a large bowl, combine 250 grams of curd with the fried onions from 2 large onions. Mix well with a spoon.

2. 2.Add Dry Spices

   Add 1.5 teaspoons of red chili powder, 1.5 teaspoons of dhanya powder, 1 teaspoon of haldi zeera powder, 1 teaspoon of chat masala, 1 teaspoon of garam masala, and 1 teaspoon of salt to the curd and onion mixture. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
