Chicken Handi
Chicken Handi is a rich, creamy chicken curry cooked in a single pot. It starts by browning onions until deeply golden, which builds a foundational sweetness for the sauce. Chicken simmers with ginger, garlic, and a blend of spices, then finished with yogurt and cream for a velvety texture. Dried fenugreek leaves and garam masala add the final aromatic touch. Serve it hot with warm naan or rotis.
