Chicken Curry Recipe

Chicken Curry


Chicken Curry is an Indian / Pakistani dish with the reputation of most loved mother of all the curry dishes. It is must have dish on all sorts of ceremonies of occasions. Chicken curry is not only served at the parties of rich and powerful but also the poor people enjoy the taste of this delicious dish. It was originated in Punjab some centuries back but it spread all over the world through Punjabi cuisines. Believe me it goes very well with bhangra parties, Mostly in Punjab people enjoy it with salted rice. It doesn't take much effort to cook nor it takes much time.


When i was in Pakistan the biggest problem we had was trusting the hotels with any other meat, because they might be feeding you a donkey or a dog and you will be thinking this mutton is yummy, quite few hotels have been done over for this, but in India and Pakistan not many businessmen get prosecuted over these things so if you are meat lover and visiting India or Pakistan just each chicken otherwise stay on daal or vegetables, so i did stick to chicken curry which is delicious in the smaller dhabas then bigger hotels, because at the dhaba you can see them cooking because they cook everything openly and in front of you. If you like it please do use comment box below and do not forget to subscribe our site to get updates on daily bases.

Deghi Roast Chicken


When it comes to healthy eating i would say the meat of the meat of the bird which is descendant of red jungle fowl which was first domesticated 2000 BC in India and its called the chicken, one of the great gifts from God to humankind.

In India and Pakistan the most favorite chicken is called Desi chicken (home grown) and believe me the taste difference is incredible.


The dish i am going to share today is called Deghi / Degi roast, probably one of the simplest and the tastiest dish from all the chicken dishes. Best way to enjoy this dish is with salted rice and samosas.
This chicken roast is not like your normal roast which normally is too dry to eat, this dish is not only delicious but juicy as well and kids love it. First time i tried deghi roast was in Lahore Pakistan but tell you truth it was too dry so i tried cooking it at home and it took me about 16 months to perfect it and i did, now we make it almost every week because the kids ask for it and they love it, we cook 3 chickens and they disappear within half an hour, while i am cooking kids will come to kitchen and ask if its done every 5 minutes.
