Lahori chargha recipe is completely unique to me so I thought of making it as I heard it for the very first time in my life. Indeed it was very tasty and delicious and thanks for sharing.
The amazing spicy and red color of this Lahori chargha was amazing. It really looked like some Lahori food which I love the most. I tried it at an evening party and it was all eaten. The recipe is very easy and tasty.
I steamed the lahori chargha before frying it and then I added some chaat masala over it just after frying. It really gave it a nice tangy flavor everyone liked it.
This is a wonderful dish. The entire family adores these lovely spiced chicken bits and I can never cook enough of it. I did change the amount of cinnamon, though, as 2 tablespoons would in my view be too overpowering.
I had sudden guests over on last Sunday and they were a lot so I didn't know what to make so quickly because I have to make them tea and cater them and host them so making a dish in 5 minutes isn't possible. But lahori chargha really helped.
