Proper Chicken Curry
An aromatic and flavorful Tandoori Chicken Curry that marries tender chicken with a creamy, spiced coconut sauce. Marinated overnight in a blend of tandoori spices and coconut yogurt, the chicken and vegetables are oven-roasted to perfection before being simmered in a rich curry sauce. This dish is a delightful combination of heat and creaminess, best enjoyed with fluffy rice and warm naan bread.
