Everyday Chicken Curry

This Everyday Chicken Curry is flavorful, from scratch with the spice powder, tastes like you’ve been cooking for hours. It’s got the bold flavors with not much effort. You’ll be surprised.

The difference in my opinion is the time it takes to cook the curry and the richness factor. What is common between all is the fresh ingredients used.

Chicken Curry

Whether it be Sunday Spicy Chicken Curry or Weeknight Chicken Curry, what we Indians are proud of is the spices we use are freshly ground for the most part and no shortcuts.

Everyone loves a restaurant style curry, but homemade is something special, healthier and more flavorful. Karahi chicken is one of my go to dishes to order when I’m at an Indian restaurant. It’s even special if you raid that spice cabinet and make everything from scratch.

When you eat out at an Indian restaurant, chances are that they’ll have Kadai/Karahi Chicken on the menu. It’s a popular north Indian dish that’s made with a few freshly ground whole spices and is known for it’s incredible flavor. It’s a simple, spicy dish and is traditionally made in a cast iron wok, but you can use a dutch oven or large saute pan instead….
