- Grind garlic and ginger to a paste. Then lightly roast ingredients of masala A and B separately on a griddle and grind to a paste.
- For the stuffing, hard boil 4 eggs, chop and keep aside.
- Blanch and peel the almonds and cut into the slivers. Keep aside.
- Now, remove the papaya paste off the chicken completely. Dissolve the saffron colour in kewra jal and apply on the chicken rubbing inside also.
- In a bowl, mix masala A and B in the curd and blend well. Then add the coloured chicken to this mix, rub well and marinate for 25 minutes.
- Then mix half of the fried onions in chopped boiled eggs and stuff inside the body cavity of the chicken. Truss the chicken by bringing the wings and legs close to the body and tie with a thread.
- Put a lagan or patili on fire and pour the ghee which was used for frying the onions and the chicken along with the marinade.
- Simmer for 30 minutes or till the chicken is done and the ghee appears on the sides. When done, place on a platter and remove the thread.
- Place the silver leaves on the chicken and garnish with almond slivers.
- Serve hot with the warqui paratha or sheermal.
