Murgh angara

(मुर्ग अंगारा)

Murgh angara is a traditional chicken dish originating from India. This spicy and dry appetizer is made with chicken pieces that have been marinated in a special Angara marinade, skewered, then grilled in a tandoor or over burning charcoal. The technique of infusing the meat with burnt charcoal smoke is known as the Dunghar method.


In order to prepare the dish, boneless chicken pieces are marinated in a combination of ginger-garlic paste, gram flour, dahi, hot chili peppers, oil, tomato paste, and garam masala spices, while lemon juice and mustard oil can also be added to the marinade, if desired.


Once prepared, the dish is served hot with rice, paratha, or naan on the side.
