Chicken Handi is popular dish in non veg gravy recipes. Aunthentic Chicken Handi is usually made in earthenware pot. Now a days it’s very hard to cook in a earthen pot on a gas so I am cooking in regular pan. This chicken handi is spicy in taste and has full of flavors. It is served with hot steamed rice or any Indian bread. My mother is a big fan of Sanjeev Kapoor’s and she is to watch “Khana Khazana” (Indian cookery show) which is hosted by Sanjeev Kapoor. This recipe is from one of his show. As my dad loves a chicken lot, so my Mom taught to try this recipe and it was so tasty. I still remember the taste and feel the flavour smell, when my mom is to serve this chicken handi with hot roti(bread). I thought let me try this recipe too, so I called my mom and she shared this recipe from her notes. Do try this yummy, delicious chicken handi and drop a comment for me. Do not forget to like, share and comment.
