Herbal Chicken Curry Recipe | Green Chicken Curry

Herbal Chicken Curry Recipe | Green Chicken Curry with step by step pictures. Herbal Chicken Curry or Green Chicken Curry is an interesting Chicken gravy made with a special Green Paste. I have also one more green chicken Curry or Haryali Chicken curry recipe coming soon in blog. But the masala used in both the recipes are different.

Usually mint and Coriander are kept aside while eating but in this recipe, I have blended everything to make a fine paste and then cooked with chicken. It has blended very well with the chicken and the colour is also so nice. The interesting part is that everyone is unsure about the mint and coriander part and hence you can feed the family some healthy food.

Mint and Coriander is something which is very good for digestion. Mint has a cooling effect on the body, it heals the stomach upset, reduces stress and many more. Coriander leaves on the other side lowers bad cholesterol and increases good cholesterol. Also it is loaded with so many other minerals. I have a homegrown Mint plant and hence I always get some fresh and organic Mint these days. If you follow me on Instagram, you would have seen my mint plant very often. Follow me on Instagram where is share my daily cooking and life updates.
