Indian Chicken Curry is a beloved dish with a rich history dating back to the Mughal era. This flavorful and aromatic dish has evolved over centuries, with each region in India adding its own unique twist. Chefs like Sanjeev Kapoor and Madhur Jaffrey have popularized their versions of this classic dish, while restaurants like Moti Mahal in Delhi and Karavalli in Bangalore are renowned for their authentic preparations. The key to a perfect Indian Chicken Curry lies in the blend of spices, including cumin, coriander, and garam masala, as well as the use of yogurt or coconut milk for a creamy texture. For a unique twist, consider the Bengali-style chicken curry with mustard oil and poppy seeds.
