Hariyali chicken recipe | Green chicken recipe – Herb based chicken curry mainly made with mint, coriander, green chilies and other spices.
About six years back when I was working in an IT company, I was asked to bring a different chicken curry for a potluck. I was then newly married and I knew to make some decent usual curries but not different ones. I wanted to try this green chicken and got the recipe from my FIL.
I was totally satisfied when I got positive reviews and it got finished in seconds. I used 2 kg chicken for making the curry and when it was finished in seconds, what else would make a cook happy?
For making this curry, its a three step process: firstly, prepare the green paste. second is to cook the chicken with other spices. Lastly, add the green paste and cook again.
