    Chicken Kurma

    Chicken Kurma is a flavourful gravy that can be served along with Roti, Biryani, Pulav, Idli, Dosa .It is very mild and flavourful. Chicken is cooked in a coconut and poppy seeds based gravy and sautéed with minimal spices.

    I served my Ghee Rice with Chicken Kurma and the combo was awesome I would say. Now let’s get started.
