Spicy kadai chicken

Kadai Chicken, also known as Karahi Chicken or Karahi Murgh, gets its name from the vessel in which this absolutely delectable dish is cooked. A Kadai (an Indian wok) is a heavy-bottomed pot that’s used to prepare this delicious, spicy and flavourful dish.

An obvious feature in Indian restaurant menus, this north Indian delicacy has been loved by folks worldwide. The Kadai Chicken is a spicy dish in which chicken is cooked with an assortment of freshly ground spices and fresh capsicum to render a unique flavour.

Cooking in a single pot or kadai may seem easy but it requires a lot of care and attention while cooking. The recipe has loads of intricate details and things to take care of. The key to making an amazing Kadai Chicken lies in getting the gravy masala right which is prepared by roasting and grinding whole spices at slow heat for several minutes and then hand-grinding them to give a burst of flavour in every bite. The attention to small details is very important else the dish may become too spicy or bitter.
