Heat 1 tsp oil and bhuno chicken on medium high to seal the juices. When most of the liquid dries up and the chicken turns slightly crispy…Sprinkle a little water, cover and cook on low flame till chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove cover and stir fry on high for another 3-4 minutes, till masala leaves oil!
