#RecipeOfTheDay is Chicken Karahi, famous in both India and Pakistan. It is cooked in onion and tomato puree alongwith other basic spices. The key ingredients in this dish is - spice mix made up of coriander seeds, fennel seeds, red chili flakes and ofcourse garam masala, because any dish is incomplete without it.
To make the curry and to elevate the flavors, I have added dried Fenugreek Leaves, Lemon zest and juice. Thus making it super delicious and infinitely tempting..
You can use Bird Eye Chilies to make it extremely hot, if you love it that way.
Best served with hot tandoori naan.
