Dhania Chicken (coriander chicken)






Coriander Chicken recipe - referred prominently as Dhania Chicken is a delicious curry from Bengali cuisine. Unlike other chicken curries, it is much easier to prepare and involves a diverse range of aromatic spices and herbs from our very own Indian kitchen. The fine blend of market-fresh coriander leaves, mint leaves and yogurt makes the yummy green chutney which when added to the gravy gives a special flavour and a memorable taste to this finger-licking side dish.


Make sure you check the consistency of the gravy at every step of your cooking process, a thick consistency being the crowd favourite. This Dhania Chicken is an amazing combo when served with roti or naan.
