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…
