Instructions for Parsi Salli Murgh Recipe - Salli Marghi

To begin the preparation of Parsi Salli Murgh, wash and clean chicken nicely under running water and keep aside.

Heat oil in a pressure cooker on medium heat, add the bay leaf, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, allow it to sizzle, next add the chopped onions and saute till they attain a deep brown colour. This will take about 5-7 minutes.

Now add the tomato puree and completely cook, until the mixture comes together.

Now add the dry spice powders- chicken, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, red chilli powder, salt and mix well.

At this stage, add the nutmeg and cardamom powder, add 1 cup of water and close the pressure cooker.

Pressure cook for 2 whistles and turn off the flame. Allow the pressure to release naturally.

Once the pressure has released, open the cooker and transfer the Parsi Salli Murgh into the serving bowl.
