CHICKEN MASALA CURRY


This is the most simple , super delicious & easy curry for beginners. 

This juicy flavourful chicken curry is my all time favourite dish.  Easiest curry to prepare when i am buzy or lazy ( lol)

This curry can be prepared easily with few basic ingredients available at home. A good quality garam masala, masala powders & roasted onions can give you  the best results.  Use kashmiri chilly powder for vibrant colour. 

This  curry can be prepared with many variations. Dry version goes well with chapathies, parathas or with rice & dal. Just allow all the moisture to evaporate  to get dry chicken masala dish.  

Semi dry  version also goes well with roti, rice or naans , bakri, mutlin etc. Gravy version goes very well with rice, panpole/ neeru dosa, sannas, appams etc. 

Gravy version can be prepared by adding coconut milk, ground coconut paste or coconut- cashew / poppy seeds paste. 

I have used coconut paste in this recipe.
