Being a Chicken lover, I am fond of trying new experiments on chicken dishes such as chicken curry, chicken choila, chicken fry, etc. I used to cook food quite differently than the regular one just for a new taste. One day I was invited to dinner at my friend’s house and there I got to eat the best chicken curry of my entire life. I didn’t know that my friend cooks so well that hits my taste bud for so long and then I insisted on the recipe and tried on my own. The way he cooks or his step by step process was so easy to follow. The taste may vary on the flavor of the meat masala you use. Here I will be using BMC special meat masala.
This chicken curry recipe is family-friendly and is very easy to prepare. You can prepare it on busy weekends and a quick gathering. Just serve the best mild chicken curry with rice or roti and the dinner is done.
