About Masala Chicken Curry

Kadai is the term used for the heavy, often cast-iron pan used to prepare the dish. In Pakistan chunks of onion, green chillies and tomatoes are not blended into the curry, which makes the gravy look dry. Some variants have a smoky flavour due to added vegetables baked or sautéed in butter.


Classic Kadai Chicken Recipe

Historically, the rich gravies based meals, pilau and the various non-vegetarian fares such as kebabs, tikkas and biriyanis formed the key components of the Mughlai cuisine often served with fruits like apricots, melons, peaches, and plums.

Hyderabadi Kadai Chicken is rich and flavorful where thick gravy is made with cashew paste and other spices. The south Indian versions are prepared in coconut oil (or groundnut oil) and the north Indian recipes make use of mustard oil.
