Tips To Make The Perfect North  Indian Chicken  Curry

By Aanchal Mathur

There are a few factors that may make your chicken curry fall short. Here are certain tips and tricks to ace it. 

Curry base

The right order for a curry base starts with oil, followed by whole spices, onions, and finally the ground spices. All these should be mixed well and cooked. 

Smell the curry while cooking 

As you cook, smell the dish at regular intervals. You will discover how each ingredient makes a distinct difference to your curry, and when it's time to add the next ingredient.

Salt is key

In case you’ve added more salt, simply add a peeled, raw potato and let it cook for a while. The potato will soak up some of the excess salt.  

Marinate Well 

The perfect marinade has an acid ingredient, a fat element, such as oil, as well as extra spices, herbs, and syrups to give the chicken a particular flavour.

Curd

Curd/yogurt or buttermilk makes the chicken tender and succulent. For the curd to not break while cooking, make sure it is beaten well.
