[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks so much Shehla

[@schaudhry4976]

Other cooking videos give a list of the ingredients and the quantity. This would be very useful Chetna. It will help us to follow the recipe easier

[@meganmcdermott7538]

Another wonderful chicken curry to try! Thank you. My family loves your "best chicken curry" recipe. We had it last night - had guests who claim it was the best they've ever eaten - better than any restaurant. At least 3 or 4 nights a week I cook one of your many recipes . Your cook books make excellent gifts for people who have little time or experience but who love Indian food. Madhur Jaffrey's books got me started cooking Indian food so many decades ago and I still love her. Nevertheless I find myself using your recipes the most these days.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks so much Megan

[@SamGiles]

Oh wow, this looks absolutely divine, Chetna! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Hope you enjoy

[@malinaozair-ross1229]

Made this a week ago. My go to is Chetna's Hyderabad Chicken but thought I would give this a go as some of the spices in it intrigued me (ie. Mace). Make it guys! This was completely delicious and the aromas and taste are so different to other chicken curries out there. Freezes brilliantly and such a treat to enjoy on a snowy day like today. Thanks Chetna! Love your channel and easy recipes.

[@marksmith7789]

This will be my next chicken curry it looks incredible!

[@FoodwithChetna]

[@cpp8227]

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thats so lovely

[@IshaHaHa-fw2df]

If I could subscribe a million times, I would. Your healthy chicken tikka (with the green peppers) is my all time favourite chicken recepie. Not to mention the home made chocolate chip cookies! I WISH you would make bindhi/veggie curry/fish recepies 🙏🏻

[@rebeccadaniel4667]

I love your kitchen. I would love to have one like your.....!

[@jacobcheriyan]

When you removed the lid finally, it was looking so incredible. You made making of this dish look so simple. Lovely!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you so much 😊

[@alkasikand6171]

From India. I am amazed at this recipe and the final look of it, as it has not been browned like a typical Indian curry.waiying to try it out soon . Thank you for the new recipe 👍👍

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you so much 😀

[@rajeevsingh8239]

I will completely agree to the idea of non-veg curries tasting extremely osm after they sit in graving for more than 8 hrs. My mom always cooks non-veg hours ahead of major meal just to allow them to absorb those flavours.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Exactly

[@ramaoorthy]

So nicely cooked.

[@gggooogggttt]

I found your channel recently and love your recipes! I have been trying different versions of butter chicken, curry, and masala recently and made one last night that is my fav so far. I was going to use cashews but mine had gone stale so I used 1 can of crushed tomatoes and 1 can of coconut milk, with about 2/3 stick of butter. I saw on one recipe Kaffir lime leaves used so I added them and...wow. Not necessary but they added a citrusy zing to the dish like the Malaysian rendang and fermented sausage I've made. I'll get some fresh cashews and try this recipe next. Peas are a nice addition as well. Thank you, Chetna!

[@madhusreechowdhury4478]

I made this today . It's a delicious recipe! Thank you.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@sophiesunny4627]

Love all your recipes, they are always a hit at my home.. could you please add the ingredients in the description box or at the start of the video? Thankyou.. 🙂

[@FoodwithChetna]

Looks very tasty! Chicken and Potato in Pickling Spices is my favorite curry!

[@FoodwithChetna]

I have made many of your chicken curries but the Hyderabad and the katsu are staples in our home. Thank you

[@mickladak3779]

Looks delicious. Tuned into your channel for the first time. However it would be really helpful if there was a list of indegrients especially fo the novices like me 😏🤭

So good!

[@arleneabrams6766]

Fairly new follower here. LOVE your recipes and I’ve taken so many tips from them. Im certainly going to try this, adding kalonji and cloves to the oil. May I add, lovely Chetna, how I love your hair, earrings and beautiful smile!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thats very kind, thanks. And a big welcome to the channel

[@jon-paularjoon1324]

Can't wait to try this out! Would love for you to try a Trini curry. While very similar, in the Caribbean we also use green seasoning, chadon beni, and pimentos, among a few other differences. Not to mention, it goes great with curry potato, curry mango and buss up shut.

[@FoodwithChetna]

if you have a nice recipe do send it over

[@rkarthikram]

Costume change at 10:33 surprised me 😁... were you checking if we were paying attention???🤣

[@FoodwithChetna]

Just checking if you guys were paying attention

[@garlicgirl3149]

Trying it this week!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Enjoy

[@rosam.carrenosanchez2868]

I can’t decide which of your chicken curries I like the most, they are all so delicious and different at the same time! I have to try this new one for sure! 😉

[@FoodwithChetna]

Enjoy

[@jillhagyard8072]

Oooh that's looks delicious, your butter chicken is a favourite of mine but will be trying this one soon 😋😋

[@FoodwithChetna]

Hope you will like this as much

[@tonyevans4898]

Scrumptious....😃👌🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks Tony

[@nickboorman4510]

Looks good, I've used a very similar recipe before, but it had the addition of dried crushed methi leaves towards the end, and the usual 'garnish with coriander!' too. Tasted great.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Hope you will try this too

[@anitajoshimathpal2062]

I accidentally came through your channel. I loved it 🫶 I m also good cook and connoisseur of good food and cook everything still love your channel and started watching all. I love the way you present everything ❤ love your voice and presentation ❤

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you so much 🙂 and a big welcome to the channel

[@TinyFoodkeyOfficial]

Looking good 👍👍😊😊

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks 👍

[@sussexgirl66]

I actually do have a handi which I hardly ever use. Remedying that with your lovely recipe. Thank you, Chetna!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yeah

[@lidziechna]

I've made a few of your curries - my favourite is the red chicken curry from Rajasthan (cause it's hot:)) and my family loves the chicken curry with garlic and spinach most:) But , all of them are simply great:) I have to give this one a go soon:)

[@cookwithzunsar]

wow wow so delicious and mouth Watering 😋 😍

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you 😋

[@juliettemathier]

Oh yes! Each of your curries tastes so different and unique! Couldn’t agree more! And this handi looks so beautiful! Unfortunately only have a ceramic glass stove top, so it might not even work in my kitchen ^^ It‘s hard to decide a favourite chicken curry… at the moment my top 3 would be the one you recently shared a video (with potatoes) the pickled spices chicken (healthy Indian) and probably the butter chicken from the 30 min Indian. I tweaked it a bit (a guest was lactose intolerant so instead of heavy cream I quickly made a cashew cream and added it a bit after the tomatoes - if I remember correctly) and thanx to you I enjoy a chicken korma much more now 😉 Here in Switzerland, the cuisine seems so bland compared to the Indian (and many others!) in the 80s a dish called „riz casimir“ got very popular, but it‘s honestly a joke to call it a curry 😂 still it‘s also referred to as „curry rice“. It‘s usually done with chicken breast or small cut veal, you add the cooked meat in a weird sauce - kind of a bechamel mixed with store bought mild curry powder and either add canned peaches and/or pineapples or you roasted some before - the fancy ones also used fresh bananas and served it with some parboiled white rice… nowadays it’s not as popular anymore but still can be found in cantines/schools and even some restaurants. It‘s not a traditional dish here, but every Swiss person knows it and I suppose, quite a lot still like it. I never did 🤷🏻‍♀️ but well, we have a saying in the lines of „you can’t argue about taste“. While we do have some other very nice and even kind of typical/traditional dishes, my general preferences and cooking habits are definitely different 😊

[@hm2011100]

Agreed, Europe does many things well but I rely on experts in Asian cooking for my curries! I’m curious now to try the Swiss dish you mention but I had haggis curry in Scotland once - Chetna’s curries are better 😅

[@juliettemathier]

@@hm2011100 oh wow! Not sure if I’d be brave enough to order a haggis curry 😅 but still sounds interesting and would like to „steal a bite“ 😁 My mentioned dish is so mild, it doesn’t resemble in the slightest way to one of Chetnas delicious curries or anything in the Thai or Vietnamese „style“ I so far was lucky to try ☺️

[@hm2011100]

@@juliettemathier haha I’ll try anything once for the experience & cultural education 😂. I was on a sleeper train from London to Fort William for my 1st ever trail run so I associate that haggis curry with magnificent memories

[@FoodwithChetna]

Wow thats interesting

[@_mftv]

Will try this! Everyone enjoys your legendary Butter Chicken recipe. Thanks and big hug from Spain :)

[@alenajoshua7405]

Hi Chetna, have been loving your videos and recipes since long. Just want to know what metal is this Handi? Please reply.

[@elaineleblanc8616]

Hi Chetna, Which cookbook can I find this recipe in? 🙂🇨🇦

[@lhs1221]

Your chicken recipes are the best! ❤

[@hm2011100]

Omg Chetna, in response to your call-out for famous chicken curries: homesickness for Malaysian chicken curry (Kari Ayam) was what brought me to your channel & cookbooks! My mum would make the chilli paste inc shallots, galangal, lemongrass & dried red chillies in huge batches & freeze to use for the next 6 months. My fav chicken curry of yours is your Punjabi-style one but we will soon see if this one supplants it!

[@FoodwithChetna]

That sounds really good, do you cook that often?

[@hm2011100]

@@FoodwithChetna no tbh I make your curries instead because it’s quite time consuming to make the paste in a food processor & I’m a beginner cook who struggles to get ingredients like Malaysian curry powder & belachan. I also haven’t found a recipe that truly replicates the flavour of my mum’s, but yours remind me of home as Malaysian or ‘nonya’ food has strong Indian influences

[@poorni28489]

[@FoodwithChetna]

Hope you will try it

[@rupalishankerarthub]

I am bingewatching videos on your channel. excellent recipe Chetna. I have slight variation on this curry : With whole spices in oil I add 3/4 to 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 3-4 whole peppercorns, 2-3 cloves besides the whole spices you added. Sometimes I also add 1-2 green cardamom crushed with pods broken slightly. Also when onion becomes a little brown I add grated garlic and ginger together and brown it with the onion. After onion turns brown add your ground spices including garam masala. If you can find chicken curry masala or meat masala add that instead of garam masala. . Mix well and cook only for 1-2 min. After this, I will add 1 large grated fresh tomato (you can grind this in the grinder with the peel). Only when the tomato gets cooked and releases oil will I add the chicken. Also to reduce cooking time - if you have a pressure cooker use that. I think it's 6-7 whistles after you put the chicken in. No idea if pressure cookers are available in the US.

[@kitchfacepalm]

08:30 “…now very difficult thing…” 😂 tip, mix the tomato paste with the water, then add it to the dish. 😉😘 “Now it’s a less difficult thing.” Chetna, I love watching you, learning from you and your recipes. I have passed your recipes along to some Indian friends who are far away from home and fending for themselves for the first time. You are saving the lives of young Indian expats in the Netherlands, and teaching them how to cook too!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thats so lovely, thank you so much for spreading the joy

[@alistairmacfadyen9365]

Made this last night, it was absolutely beautiful.. ❤

[@FoodwithChetna]

yeah

[@iahorvath]

I think this is your BEST chicken curry recipe! It looks like it has the most complex flavours. I can’t wait to try it!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Hope you like it!

[@Apocalypz]

This is lovely! One of my favourite curry recipes is to make your Dahi Masala Curry but replace the basic chicken used with your Spicy & Sweet Sticky Chicken -- just drop it in near the end of the curry cook time. mmm 😋😋

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yum

[@luluk.s1622]

Looks delicious 😋😋can't wait to make it next weekend...love all your chicken curries, but my fav would be the chicken spinach and the chicken cashews and pepper ❤️❤️

[@1234Teelady]

Have made this a few times, definitely one of the best

[@FoodwithChetna]

thanks so much Ron

[@davidpritchard9829]

Great video and recipe. I took to you straight away and found amusement in your garlic and ginger mix-up. You must have had a really busy day. The change of clothes near the end also got me thinking but the important thing is to show the recipe and technique which was fantastic. It's nice to see your measures being used as some people will say 1 teaspoon but you don't know if it is the correct level measure, a heaped measure or an actual teaspoon (level or heaped). It's nice to see, then people can do as you have and change in the future to their own tastes. One question I have is that the bay leaves appeared to be mediterranean (single spine). I once saw someone say that it is important to use indian bay leaves with the three spines (as I would call them). Does it really make much difference in your opinion? I suspect not as you clearly enjoyed the curry! Keep up the good work and I look forward to trying your recipes.

[@squange20]

Like myself, I’ve noticed other people asking for the list of ingredients. Even your other videos don’t have them. Please edit your videos to add the ingredient list. Thanks. Your curries are amazing.

[@AkashAB4U]

Wow Chetna, this dish looks delicious. I'm originally from Trinidad and Tobago and you'd love our curried chicken. I would tey to find a recipe for you to try

[@rattank1527]

I haven't tried them all but I do the Punjabi style curry kind of crossed with the restaurant style because I broil the chicken thighs on at least one side first. I also add some ground cumin in addition to the seeds, chopped de-seeded jalapeno and a yellow or red bell pepper, some extra garlic ginger in the sauce not just in the chicken, and a little mustard oil to help brown the chicken. I put a good handful of dried fenugreek leaf instead of the chopped coriander. Oh and I mix together and finish in oven. I can never just follow a recipe for some reason 😅

[@FoodwithChetna]

Doesnt matter till the time you get a lovely dish at the end of it

[@kieranmclaughlin8920]

Hey, Chetna. Love your vids. They're all excellent. Em, has become apparent to me that your videos are perhaps not being promoted as others may be. Just thought I'd mention such. Thankyou, Chetna. Kieran from Glasgow. Peace and love to all. 🙏

[@OneSun11]

So you asked for a chicken curry recipe. I am making your recipe today for Christmas Eve. But... Look up Xim Xim de Galinha. Chicken and Okra Curry/Stewart. It is AMAZING. This dish is west Afrikan inspired but is made in the North of Brazil where I used to live. You who make and love curry will love tje food from Bahia Brazil. Moqueca de peixe, VaTaPa, Xim Xim and other amazing dishes. Try it out I think you will love it.

[@davinakaur2673]

Love following your channel from Malaysia... I think you should make a Chicken Xachuti (I think it's a goan style Chicken curry)... Also a Malaysian Curry you need to try is Ayam MASAK Merah (translated as red cooked chicken)
