If you are a fan of rich, creamy, and flavorful chicken dishes, then Handi Chicken is a must-try recipe. This dish is cooked in a traditional earthen pot or a handi, which enhances its smoky aroma and taste. It is one of the most popular dishes served at dhabas (roadside restaurants) and Indian restaurants, loved for its thick, spiced gravy and tender chicken pieces.
Ingredients:
