BonGappétit ‘s new blog post is here again to help you make your ideal Sunday cuisine with a new chicken recipe that is so delicious and easy that you will end up licking your plates away!No Kidding! Chicken also known as Murgh is widely cooked in Indian cooking as we all know.So, here’s a chicken dish that is very simple and easy to cook.
A quick Introduction : “Chicken Kalimirch” or “Murgh Kalimirch” is a spicy thick gravy recipe cooked with fresh cream, loads of freshly crushed black peppercorn and cashew nuts. It tastes spicy and sweet, the chicken cooked in this gravy is juicy and tender and the time and the ingredients it takes to cook this dish is minimal. The recipe is very rich in its thick gravy flavor and yet very simple in its taste. Honestly, the pictures in here isn’t doing any justice to the dish that we cooked, it is so scrumptious and lip smacking that I can only insist you’all to try this recipe on your own to believe my words. Best served with plain rice or roti but we Bengalis as you’all know prefer rice over anything.
