With the weekend here, it was time to make something different and delicious. And Pahadi Chicken Curry Recipe was just the recipe that fitted the bill. Now I didn’t go to any “pahad” (mountain) so learn this recipe, rather this pahadi chicken curry recipe was inspired by Aditya Bal, the renowed chef who travels across India to learn new and truly traditional recipes. I love how he cooks at the very place he visits, no matter how remote it is and gives every dish the authentic feel that it deserves. I have tweaked this pahadi chicken curry recipe a little to suit my family’s taste.

With the tangy taste of both yogurt and tamarind, the pahadi chicken curry recipe was surely very different from the regular chicken recipes. I have never tried chicken with the tamarind before. But I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by how good it tasted with peas pulao. It was simply pure indulgence. I must have done something right that the pahadi chicken curry recipe turned so delicious and I was getting rave reviews from my kids, who are really picky eaters. Without wasting more time, let’s just get started with the chicken pahadi curry recipe.

Until next time,
