Having a library so nearby is such an advantage for me, my major visits to libary is for borrowing books for lil one's bed time stories as I get bored of reading the same story to him again and again .Whenver I go I take a quick look at food and drinks books too and this time I was lucky to find an Anjum Anands book and her Punjabi chicken curry got into my try list first, so when I made lemon rice last week I made this punjabi chicken curry to go with it . I modified the recipe a little bit , especially with number of onions and it was a lovely combination with lemon rice :)

one quick tip ...you use a white bed sheet or something to block that harsh light, it would take off that glitter/shiny parts on the chicken...

Vineetha... the chicken curry looks so good...the gravy yum!!!

Keep an eye on it when you take the lid off or it will certainly thicken too much. Was ok, but can't say I'll be making it next time.
