Use 1 kg chicken for the recipe.

Marinate the chicken with 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste, 1 tbsp chicken masala powder, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 2 tsp chili powder, a few coriander leaves, and 2-3 sliced green chilies.

Taste the marinade and adjust spiciness by adding more green chilies and salt if desired.

Stuff the marinated chicken into the washed bamboo shoots.

Close the top of the stuffed bamboo with soaked dry kachnar leaves.

Place the bamboo on a brick stove and light a firewood flame below.

Cook the chicken for about 40 minutes, flipping the bamboo after 15-20 minutes.

Observe water seeping out of the bamboo during cooking, which is excess water being drained off.

Serve the bamboo chicken after 30-40 minutes.
