It is prepared by marinating the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, spices, and green chilies, which impart a spicy and tangy taste to the dish. The dish gets its name from the clay or earthenware pot (matka) in which it is cooked, which adds a distinctive aroma and flavor to the chicken. This dish is usually served in small earthenware pots, and it is a sure hit when served with hot naan or roti.
