   • Add salt, lime juice, hot sauce, and tomato ketchup. Mix thoroughly to coat the chicken pieces evenly.

3. Add Flavorings:

   • Incorporate plain yogurt, red chili powder, and vinegar into the mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

4. Enhance Color:

   • Add a pinch of saffron and food color to the mixture. Mix until the color is evenly distributed.

5. Prepare Skillet:

7. Cook Chicken:

   • Once the oil is hot, add it to the marinated chicken mixture and stir well.
