A rich and hearty slow-cooked chicken curry from the land of nawabs, this Hyderabadi dum ka murgh is perfect for a leisurely meal. I know it’s been a while since I shared a traditional Indian curry dish on the blog. Summer meals at our home are more of a leisurely affair. I prefer to spend…
Mangalorean Chicken Ghee Roast & Neer Dosa
A classic Mangalorean combo, spicy chicken pan-roasted in good quality ghee is paired with lacy rice crepes for a delicious and wholesome meal. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again.

A delicious chicken dish made by cooking chicken in a spicy and tangy pickling spices sauce, ‘achari murgh’ comes from the hotter regions of Northern India.

The word korma evokes a sense of opulence and indulgence. A korma is a rich, creamy, slow-cooked Indian curry which can be made with chicken, lamb or just vegetables. Depending on which part of India you come from and how rich you want your korma to be, you can use nuts, raisins, cream or even…
Sri Lankan Chicken Curry
Today’s recipe is a true gem, borrowed from the small island nation of Sri Lanka just south of India. Sri Lankan cuisine shares many similarities with South Indian cuisine, especially those of Kerala and southern Tamil Nadu cuisines. This probably has to do with geographical and cultural similarities. In my quest to try different kinds…
Murgh Saagwala {Chicken And Eggs In Spinach Gravy}
Whenever I make chicken curry or chicken masala (that refers to a a semi-gravy like Indian preparation), it always ends up being slightly different from the last time. And I sort of like it that way. I may add a pinch of something extra here, I may not have a usual ingredient that day or…
Balti Style Chicken {Chicken Cooked In A Spicy Masala}
Do you know what Balti cuisine is? I did not, till recently. It is believed to have originated around Baltistan, north of Pakistan and Kashmir, and migrated to Birmingham, where it enjoys a sort of cult status. I found a bunch of Balti style recipes in a new cookbook I got. Having never heard of…
Thai Green Chicken Curry {Served With A Spicy Couscous Pulao}
I love, love, love Thai cuisine. Not the sweetened Americanized Thai we get in some restaurants here, but rather the clean flavors of Thai food.

Chicken Kofta Curry (Meatballs In A Delicate Indian Curry)
Kofta/kofte are fried meat or vegetable balls which are then dunked in a smooth tomato based curry/sauce. I am pretty sure I don’t need to “sell” this recipe to you. Meatballs are comfort food in any cuisine all over the world, right? If you are making vegetable kofta, boiled and mashed potatoes would be the…
Easy Chicken Curry With Coconut Milk
It is no secret that I am a big fan of coconut milk. And also chicken. Whenever I tire of the fiery hot chili or black pepper based chicken curries, I turn to coconut milk for relief. This curry is not exactly the popular Keralan chicken stew, but close. This is somewhat a twisted creation,…
Chicken Korma
Korma is a South Asian curry made with vegetables or meat, simmered in a creamy sauce made of yogurt, cream, cashew nut/almond paste or coconut milk. It is more like a stew than a curry. As any Indian will tell you, there is no set rules to making a particular curry. Each household has their…
