Hyderabadi Chicken Curry Recipe

Hyderabadi chicken curry is a delicious chicken curry recipe from Hyderabadi cuisine. In this Hyderabadi chicken recipe, the chicken is cooked in a rich, spicy and aromatic gravy flavoured with garam masala, coconut and a good amount of heat with chillis.

The chicken curry is quite rich but if you thought it’s complicated recipe it is absolutely easy to make chicken recipe. You do not even need to marinate the chicken and still, it turns out quite flavourful.

When it comes to chicken, I cook many gravies but most of them are in onion tomatoes based gravies. This is chicken curry with no tomatoes, A hint of sour taste comes from the use of tamarind in a small amount. And it tastes equally amazing with rice, chapati or paratha.

Hyderabadi chicken is perfect Indian Keto recipe if you follow that. It is also glutenfree and low carb.

Hyderabadi Chicken Curry Recipe Notes

• You can adjust the heat with adjustment in the number of chillies as per your tolerance level. But since Hyderabadi cuisine is famous for the spicy food Hyderabadi Chicken curry is originally a spicy dish.
• Instead of boneless chicken, you can use the cut chicken with bones. I mostly cook it with boneless chicken/chicken breast because of healthier meat and easy to eat.
• If you are using chicken with bones adjust the cooking time accordingly.
