What is Chicken bhindi?
Bhindi curry recipes are an integral part of North Indian cuisine and are often served with Naan. It features a mix of spices such as turmeric, salt, and coriander, as well as vegetables such as okra, tangy tomatoes, and onions. Bhindi is prepared in different ways in every household. Some like to cook it with tomato puree and onion, while others love to prepare it with a few herbs and spices. Based on your tastebuds, you can add or alter the spice level of the dish.
Chicken is another important ingredient used in India to prepare mouth-watering non-vegetarian dishes. Like the bhindi, chicken is an integral part of North Indian cuisine.
