Methi Chicken /Methi Murg /Chicken Curry





This is one of my favorite chicken recipes, the balance of spices, and a simple way of cooking technique makes this super easy to try by any skill set individual. There is no authentic recipe of any Indian dish and there is no set documentation also and the reason behind this is the style of cooking Indians do, every dish in Indian cuisine is that chef's or that home's or that community's way of expressing their love, joy, and passion for cooking.



In this recipe, I use my style and understanding of Indian spices. Fenugreek goes very well with yogurt and coriander and there a deadly combination in this dish will take you to the pinnacle of prime taste.

So enjoy this simple yet delicious chicken recipe and express your feelings in the comment section.

Dahi Kebab/ Dahi ke kebab







Enjoy this tempting crispy Dahi kebab recipe with bell pepper chutney. The kebab is created with a mixture made from paneer, cashews, spices, and green coriander. This kebab mix is then tightly hung yogurt and then deep fried till golden brown. A deliciously healthy and protein-rich snack item to be served with bell pepper chutneys or you can serve it with green chutney.



The best part of this kebab is that it's crispy from outside and super soft from inside. My restaurant August1five is known for this kebab and people love to have it. My recipe is very different and by far simplest then you can get on the internet, the only thing which can make this kebab difficult to make is the consistency of yogurt, therefore the hung yogurt needs to be super dry, I mean should be hung in the fridge in for at least 24 hours. I hope you guys will love this recipe, so please share your comments below.
