Pro tips for coriander chicken curry

This one in the picture is my secret weapon for bringing flavor and taste to my cooking. A small stone spice grinder.  I believe manually grinding using mortar and pestle makes the dishes aromatic, which I often use in my kitchen.

You can use if you have one in your kitchen. If not, grind the spices in your regular electric mixer/grinder.

Recipe variations

  • Add ground coconut or cashew paste for more decadent gravy for the coriander chicken curry.
  • The vegetarian way of making the same recipe uses paneer or mushrooms.
  • I have used pestle and mortar, but you can also use your electric blender/mixer.
  • This is the gravy version recipe. If you want to dry the coriander chicken, use the same recipe, but cook longer until the gravy thickens and the masala coats the chicken well.
