NOTES

*If you are in a haste and have no enough time to let the ice melt, then bring the chaaps under running water.
I usually avoid this method because, with this, the chaaps turn too watery and little lumpsy.
So i will recommend to adopt this method only when you are in a hurry.

** Before frying the chaaps, you can remove the sticks from them and cut the chaap in 2 to 3 pieces depending upon their size. It all depends upon your choice that how you want to make a presentation.

***If you feel that the water has dried but still the chaaps are hard, no worry. Boil water as needed in a separate bowl and add it to the chaaps and let the chaaps cook for further period until turn soft.

When making a full Chaap instead of removing its sticks and without cutting it into pieces, I usually prefer to prepare the chaaps atleast 1½ to 2 hours prior to serving them. Because as long as the chaaps will remain in the tomato gravy, the more they will soak deep inside the flavours and spices you have added into the gravy.
So get them ready before the time and just re-heat them at the time of frying.
