I love this unique and authentic chicken curry and hope you will too!
A unique and medium hot chicken curry
This authentic chicken curry is an interesting curry. Interesting because there is no garlic, ginger or onion in the mix.
There are of course a lot of authentic chicken curries that leave these ingredients out for religious reasons but most of the recipes found in the cookbooks ask for them.
I may be a garlic lover but it was’t missed here. The spice blend together with the ghee, cream and tandoori style chicken went so well together.
This is a truly indulgent recipe that you definitely need to try. The ghee and cream make the sauce out of this world amazing!
So why not treat yourself? This authentic chicken curry is spot on!
I have included my recipe for Kashmiri curry paste.
It is really good. If you are short on time, a good quality garam masala mixed with 1/2 teaspoon white wine vinegar should do the job.
