Nutritional tips

  • Explore adding thick beaten yogurt instead of cream and choose a healthy cooking method like air frying
    Marinate the chicken with thick curd and tandoori masala. Air-fry the chicken without using oil and the leftover curd-masala preparation can be used as a replacement for cream which will reduce the fat content in the dish.
