Chicken is only dish where you actually get the strong taste of all the spices...
This recipe is tried and tested in several ways and with different spice mix. however this one is my favourite because it marinated in herbs and spices and with lot of fresh spinach and yogurt....
When I started cooking chicken the very first recipe was chicken kadam the easiest and flavourful recipe. One from my mom's kitchen that is also super tasty and delicious
Well talking about this recipe is full of nutrients and good fats. I always try to make things less unhealthy and making chicken with less oil is not an option but I did tried with only 2 tbsp of oil and natural oil from other ingredients...
