Chicken Curry for Beginners, FINGER-LICKING GOOD | My Mom's Recipe
Video Overview & Insights
This is the classic chicken curry straight from my childhood kitchen. It’s one of the best recipes I’ve ever learned, taught to me by my mom, who has a gift for making the tastiest food with minimal oil and only the most essential spices.
Why is it that curry leaves are not used for cooking chicken curry?
In this masterclass, I’ll show you why you don’t need a pressure cooker to get a tender result and how to avoid the mistake that most restaurants make with their sauces. Whether you're a beginner or looking for a healthier way to enjoy authentic Indian flavors, this step-by-step guide covers everything from the 30-minute marination secret to creating a rich, onion-based gravy without any tomatoes.

I really appreciate this video and the video you made on spices. I’m new to cooking. Thank you SO much for mentioning how many grams of onions to use. In general, for tomatoe based salans, how many grams of onions and how many grams of tomatoes do you recommend to keep the taste balanced (not too sweet and not too sour)?
