Chicken Curry Recipe is the most delicious chicken curry and is the most sought after recipe by everyone. The chicken recipe here is made with onions and tomatoes and few other ingredients which bring out an amazing aroma and taste in the curry.
I have made a regular chicken curry but into it I have added few more ingredients to make it even more delicious. Chicken curry is one of my favorite recipes and I can eat chicken almost everyday.
Other chicken recipes:
punjabi chicken, chicken jalfrezi etc...
There are various ways to make chicken and being a Hyderabadi chicken curries are made in korma form or they are made as rich gravies.
But, here no rich ingredients are added and the curry is made with simple ingredients that are easily available at home.
Chicken is the mostly preferred non veg dish and rest other follows. Chicken recipes are usually liked by non veg freaks. There are thousands of chicken varieties and if my blog readers give me a thumbs up for this recipe then I shall be glad to update with many chicken varieties.
This chicken recipe is made with onions, tomato puree, paste of coconut, green chillies and coriander leaves. The dish is so good that it goes well with pulao recipes and it can never be enough.
The chicken curry recipe which I have shown is a gravy kind of a recipe and can also made during gatherings and celebrations.
Chicken is often made at home and I prefer trying out many variations of chicken curries and chicken korma recipes and also unique varieties with chicken.
With time I would like to flood my blog with various chicken varieties to be tried and ofcourse every recipe on my blog is tried and tested.

Notes
2.If one does not prefer using coconut then just add paste of green chillies and coriander leaves.
3.Here I have used slow cooking method rather than making it in the pressure cooker and slow cooked method gives the best taste.
4.One can add additional spices such as bay leaf into the curry.
5.To make the tomato puree, blend the tomatoes directly in a blender or another method is boil the tomatoes, peel the skin and then make the puree, but in this recipe I have made the puree of the tomatoes directly and cooked the puree well enough.

There's nothing quite like a good chicken curry on a cold winter's day. Love all the ingredients in this dish. I make curries quite often, but am not so sure of the chicken masala powder? Perhaps it is just another Indian spice. It looks delicious.
