    Methi Chicken Recipe – A Tasty Tweak to your regular Chicken Curry

    Methi Chicken (Chicken Curry with Fenugreek Leaves)

    Methi Chicken is a lip smacking chicken recipe which is cooked under pressure(dum) along with yogurt, fresh methi and spices. This Methi Chicken recipe is easy to cook and great in taste, as well as looks and texture.

    Methi Chicken Recipe
    Methi Chicken Recipe (Chicken Curry with Fenugreek Leaves)

    This Methi Chicken is one of my go-to recipes when I want to cook a simple, wholesome non-vegetarian meal for my family. The basic recipe for this dish is my Mother’s so I know it is good as I grew up eating it. The fresh Methi (fenugreek) leaves add a lovely, earthy flavor to this dish. You can also use dried fenugreek if you don’t have access to fresh leaves and you should be able to find both fairly easily in any grocery.

  • A Colorful & Flavorful Feast: Chicken with Peppers Recipe

    Chicken with Peppers

    Chicken is a universal favorite among kids as well as adults. Its versatility makes it a favourite thing to cook. This one is not a spicy dish from heat point.
    It has a history for me as this Chicken with Peppers recipe comes from my mum. She created it as a menu option for no oil foods after my dad had a heart attack. By using this basic technique, I have made it with a number of different vegetables. After so many variations I still love this original version due to the ease of the recipe as well as preparation time. This is a yummy chicken dish with outstanding flavor that is easy to make.

    Fresh bell peppers cook up with economical and flavorful chicken in a quick and tasty stove top dinner. With just 1 tablespoon of oil, you can feed 4-6 people. How good does that sound?

    1. If you are not used to have it that spicy you can always lessen the quantity of chili powder.
    2. Ginger garlic paste is also optional in this recipe. Yeah yeah I know its the core ingredient in Pakistani dishes but you can skip it if you want.
    3. A good tip while making any kind of Pulao is that after you add rice in the water mixture. Cook on a high heat till the water dries up completely then cover and simmer it on low heat, otherwise you’ll end up with a mushy halwa rather than your regular Pulao rice.
