  1. Clean the chicken and slit it with sharp knife and keep aside.
  2. Make a paste of Melon seeds, poppy seeds, cashew nuts, garlic, black pepper, white pepper and green chilies in a grinder. Add curd, cream and salt in this paste and marinate chicken with this.
  3. Keep this marinated for 4-6 hours. Now brush it with butter and grill it in tandoor ( I prefer to cook it in in microwave first for 8-10 minutes at 100% power and then I grill it in oven for 10-12 minutes. This makes the Afgani chicken very juicy).
  4. Serve "Afgani chicken " hot with onion rings.
