Add sliced onion and cook on medium heat until soft and translucent β€” do NOT brown. Blend onions together with seaseme seeds, peanuts, yoghurt, chilies, ginger and garlic. Blend everything into a smooth paste and marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes. Cook on medium-low flame, stirring gently so the paste doesn’t catch at the bottom. Cover and let it cook for 12–15 minutes until: β€’ chicken is fully cooked, β€’ gravy thickens, and β€’ you see light oil separation around the edges. If the sauce becomes too thick, add 2–4 tbsp of water to adjust consistency. Lower the heat to the minimum. Add fresh cream and gently fold it into the gravy. Simmer for 2–3 minutes only β€” do not boil after adding cream. You’ll see the gravy turn glossy and silky β€” the signature of a Shahi handi Sprinkle: β€’ ginger slices β€’ kasuri methi β€’ fresh coriander Optional finishing touch: a swirl of cream or melted butter. Serve hot with naan, tandoori roti, paratha, or steamed rice. #handi #whitechicken #whitehandi #shahihandi #whitechickenhandi #chickenhandi ## Stats - **Views:** 20,477 - **Likes:** 856 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 52 ## Tags whitechicken, whitehandi, shahihandi, handi, whitechickenhandi, chickenhandi --- Copyright (c) Gondola
