Pro tips for coriander chicken curry

My secret weapon for bringing flavor and taste to my cooking is this one, which is in the picture. A small stone spice grinder.  I believe that grinding manually using mortar and pestle makes the dishes aromatic, and use very often 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 paste or ground cashew paste for richer gravy for the coriander chicken curry.
  • The vegetarian way of making the same recipe, use paneer or mushroom.
  • 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 make coriander chicken dry recipe, use the same recipe but cook longer until gravy thickens and the masala coats the chicken well.
