Chicken Gravy


Note :
  •  Please do not forget to add sliced shallots at the end as this adds a great aroma and taste to the chicken gravy.
  • Adding shahijeera to this dish gives a good flavor.If you do not have shahi jeera then add normal jeera.
  • As it does not require any blending process, this recipe can be prepared when we go for trekking or tour.
  • By adding or reducing the water level this recipe can be adjusted to varuval or gravy. So this is 2 in 1 process recipe.
