What is dahi chicken?:

  • Chicken curries are made in thousand different ways but the basic things that go into it to make gravy consistency is onions, tomatoes or yogurt/curd.
  • Some tend to add yogurt and some prefer adding tomatoes but the overall result is delicious gravy curries. Here, we have made this curry just by using chicken and it is just amazing when served with chapati, phulka or rice.

Making chicken is the most easiest thing as it tastes good, smells good after cooking and looks good too and something that can be soften in 20-25 minutes and have a great meal.

Dahi is a hindi word for yogurt or curd and it is named differently in different regions such as ‘perugu’ in telugu language and ‘tayir’ in tamil language and so on…

How to make dahi chicken?:

All we need to have is chicken and curd at home to make it and onions that are always available at home.

This dahi chicken curry tastes good with roti or chapathi too. I have shared various kind of chicken gravies and would like to share many more kinds of chicken curries that are easy to make.

The gravy consistency can be made thick or thin as per one’s requirement and do not over cook the chicken as it loses all the wonderful taste that it contains due to overcooking.

Not only curry recipes are made with chicken but other chicken items that can be made by using rice and chicken such as chicken biryani in cooker, chicken fried rice, chicken pulao etc…

This is basically a common chicken recipe made using yogurt and it does not take much time to prepare before making the chicken.

There are so many chicken varieties that are yet to be made and dahi chicken is one of them and shall be posting many more chicken recipes as I keep blogging on different recipes.

This is a curry that tastes good with any basic pulao or a steamed rice. It can be made for simple occasions too.

I love cooking chicken and hope the same with my readers who prefer to make non-veg and I love to experiment with many chicken dishes.

The chicken always takes minimum 40 minutes for it to cook well if it is slow cooked and if it is pressure cooked then do not give more than 2 or 3 whistles as the chicken might overcook it more whistles are given.

Hope my blog readers like my dahi chicken which tastes yummy with any main dish like roti and rice…
