Print Recipe

Thanks so much to Zelna for sharing her recipe for her delicious chicken curry. It looks absolutely amazing.

Readers must note her technique of building up a gravy by slowly adding water when the spices start to get dry. This ensures that the masala is properly cooked through.

  • 5 Curry leaves
  • 2 Onions
  • Garlic to taste
  • 2 tablespoons of Ground Coriander

  • 3 Tablespoons of  mix masala with Kashmiri chillie powder

  • 1 Punnet of Fresh Dhania aka Coriander (Half to cook and half for garnishing)

Instructions

  • Add the oil on medium heat
  • Add the finely chopped onions, curry leaves & garlic
  • Add the spices (do not burn your spices)
  • As you cook your spices and it gets dry, add water so that you do not burn your spices as you build up a nice thick gravy.
