Young and old, both will love this dahi chicken recipe. Made with red chili flakes spiced yogurt marinate, the chicken will be dropping of the bones.

And the curry is so scrumptious I want to make it with everything. And really, – you could! On meats, seafood, paneer, other veggies, Just let your imagination run wild and enjoy this amazing indian curry with anything and everything.

I would go as far as to say that this indian dahi chicken recipe or the dahi wala murgh is actually quite refreshing rather than the other rich and heavy curries. In addition to the yogurt, the curry has in it lime juice, red chili flakes, black pepper and cumin powder.

The black pepper and cumin flavor is subtle, and to me, the standout is the lime flavor which cuts through the richness of the yogurt.

Isn’t the Indian food just the best that with all the spices and ingredients, it gives such an amazing final result. The flavor really add well to the chicken and it is really a delight to take every bite of it.

      Hi Narender,
      Sorry for the delay in replying as I was in the process of moving back to India and couldn’t get to my blog any sooner.
      Yes, both turmeric and coriander powder have been omitted. Most often, you will not find turmeric being added in chicken recipes on my blog. I feel the color changes when the turmeric powder is added to it.
      However while cleaning the non veg I add the turmeric powder to remove the raw smell from it. You can check this link for further details. https://www.faskitchen.com/how-to-remove-raw-smell-from-non-veg/

    hi, also wanted to add that u listed lemon juice in ingredients, but no mention of it in cooking instructions! it is only from yr description in the beginning, that one assumes it is added in the marinade. or maybe u added it at the end just before serving. so u see the confusion? Pls always state the method clearly. hope u will reply soon n thnx agn.

      Oops, my bad. You guessed it right, the lemon juice goes in the marinate. I have edited it now. And thanks a ton for pointing it out.

    Hi…i tried your recipe..but it didn’t come out red like yours..i read the recipe many times..your ingredients do not have anything that is red except for chili flakes so how did you get a really nice red curry colour?
    Thanks

      Thanks for the feedback, Celia. If you have seen my fb page, this is the most common question being asked. I have added only red chilli flakes and nothing else. Haven’t even add the red chilli powder or any color to it. If you notice in the step by step pictures, the curry is still pretty white. But the final result turned out to be little reddish in color. I suspect that it is the “frying the chicken to golden brown” that did it for me.
      But regardless of the color, I hope you enjoyed the Dahi Chicken curry.

      Maybe it has to do with the chilli powder as mentioned in the comment above. But I am so glad you enjoyed it’s taste

    And I would like to know if you have a page on insta or Fb?!
    Thanks!!
