If time permits, marinate the chicken thighs overnight in the fridge.
The simmering time mentioned here is for chicken thighs. It’s the same for small drumsticks. Add 5 minutes for larger drumsticks. If you’re using smaller pieces of chicken, reduce the cooking time accordingly.
Check the doneness of chicken by applying light pressure to the thickest part with a spoon. The flesh should almost fall apart.
Cayenne pepper and paprika can be used as substitutes for chilli powder and Kashmiri chili powder respectively.
