Know about the Recipe : 

Kadai Chicken is a traditional North Indian Curry recipe and is a very popular dish usually served in Restaurants. During my stay in USA, I have got a chance to spend some time in a freinds' restaurant kitchen, talk to the Chefs and learnt some beautiful restaurant cooking style with them like making special masalas, special gravies and much more. I got to taste this Kadai Chicken there, specially made for me and enjoyed it a lot. There itself I got to know that the name Kadai Chicken is just because this chicken recipe is made using Kadai. That's nice to know.. isn't it???

Today let me share this KADAI CHICKEN recipe in Restaurant style that can be prepared very easily. I have prepared two masalas today. One is a special Kadai Chicken masala powder made with Coriander seeds, jeera, fennel seeds and black pepper. Dry roasted these whole spices and grind to powder. This masala gives a unique flavour, aroma and taste to the dish.  And the second one is a masala paste by frying onion and tomato, used for making the gravy. Taste enhanced by using chicken with bones and capsicum. As I have used onions twice, this recipe is more of onion flavour. Fresh cream gives a rich and creamy texture to the gravy. 

I am sharing the recipe with detailed photos & video also. Its simple, very easy to make and the best restaurant style dish. So, friends... no restaurant this Sunday.. follow the recipe, do it at home for your loved ones. Enjoy the taste of authentic, delicious, traditional North Indian "Kadai Chicken". Best combination for all naan, roti and rice varieties.
