Coriander Chicken Curry
Coriander Chicken Curry is a super easy chicken dish to make which does not require much preparation and is an absolute favourite in our house. Unlike other coriander chicken gravies which are usually green this is a recipe with a twist. The tomato puree, ketchup and Kashmiri chilli powder gives it a deep red color. It is a tangy chicken gravy with a strong coriander flavour. The powdered coriander seeds and fresh coriander leaves gives it a distinct taste.
