Chicken Curry for Beginners, FINGER-LICKING GOOD | My Mom's Recipe

This is the classic chicken curry straight from my childhood kitchen. It’s one of the best recipes I’ve ever learned, taught to me by my mom, who has a gift for making the tastiest food with minimal oil and only the most essential spices. In this masterclass, I’ll show you why you don’t need a pressure cooker to get a tender result and how to avoid the mistake that most restaurants make with their sauces. Whether you're a beginner or looking for a healthier way to enjoy authentic Indian flavors, this step-by-step guide covers everything from the 30-minute marination secret to creating a rich, onion-based gravy without any tomatoes. 🥗 THE PERFECT SIDE DISH: Balance your protein-rich curry with a light, fiber-packed salad.
