  5. Add Chicken pieces and sear on high heat for 3-4 mins. After 3 mins reduce the heat and cook covered for 10 mins on low heat.
  6. Uncover after 10 mins. Now, add Masala Paste and 3 tbsp. Special Meat Masala Powder and mix well.
  7. Add Salt to taste and add Onions cut into cubes (We will add Onions in this recipe at two stages-Sliced Onions in Tadka and now we use Onion Cubes. This explains why this recipe is called Do Pyaza.)
  8. Cover and cook on low heat
  9. Chicken is cooked in total 25 mins. Now, Switch off the heat.
  10. We will temper with ghee before serving.
  11. For tempering, heat 1 tbsp Clarified Butter. Add Chopped Garlic and red chilies. Pour this Tadka over the Chicken.
  12. Murg Do Pyaza is ready. Garnish with coriander leaves. Serve with some Butter Rotis and veg salad
