Dum Ka Murgh

Whole chicken or bone-in pieces marinated in a thick paste of yoghurt, fried onion, poppy seeds, almonds, saffron, and whole spices, then slow-cooked dum-style in a sealed vessel with no added water — the Hyderabadi chicken preparation for special occasions, richer and more perfumed than everyday chicken curry. The technique ensures every drop of moisture comes from the chicken and the marinade.
