Kasuri Methi Chicken curry recipe with step by step instructions.తెలుగు వెర్షన్.
Kasuri methi chicken curry is a tasty restaurant style rich gravy recipe.I used to have a misconception that any recipe cooked with fenugreek leaves will taste bitter until I tasted Kasuri Machchi curry ( fish curry cooked with dried fenugreek leaves) at one restaurant.I took it into my plate with little hesitation.but the moment I ate it I really loved it.from that day I have started using Kasuri methi/dried fenugreek leaves or fresh methi/fenugreek leaves in my cooking.
This week I prepared Kasuri methi chicken curry and the taste was really amazing.The chicken pieces were melting in the mouth.and the rich gravy made with Kasuri methi, cashew nut paste, and heavy cream reminds you the curry that tasted in the restaurant.it tastes excellent when served with butter naan or Rotis accompanied with sliced onions and tomatoes(seasoned with salt and black pepper powder).keep on cooking…enjoy 🙂

your recipe looks amazing! my only question is whether to include the pepper powder or not. Your video shows you adding white pepper powder 1/2 tsp to the marinade, but your instructions do not include that quantity. which is correct? Thanks!

Is there a good substitute for cream. I’m not a big fan because of the calories.
BINDU
Hi, Annie.You can just skip that if you don’t like…or you can add low-fat yogurt.
