FAQ
Kya mai fresh cream ki jagah dahi aur barha sakta hoon?
Makhni Handi ka asli texture fresh cream se hi aata hai, lekin aap cream ki miqdar thodi kam kar ke dahi shamil kar sakte hain.
Boneless ki jagah bone-in chicken use ho sakta hai?
Ji bilkul, lekin traditional handi me boneless cubes zyada pasand kiye jaate hain aur jaldi cook hote hain.
