For young chicken (squab or broiler), It is not necessary to marinate it. Older chicken must be marinated to break down connective tissues. Traditional chicken curry is made from older chicken. The chicken is marinated in 'regular' Yogurt or Dahi. It must not be fat-free yogurt. It is not necessary to add any spices for the marinate.

Murgh means chicken in India.
