Methi Chicken (Chicken Curry with Fenugreek Leaves)

Methi Chicken is a lip smacking chicken recipe which is cooked under pressure(dum) along with yogurt, fresh methi and spices. This Methi Chicken recipe is easy to cook and great in taste, as well as looks and texture.

This Methi Chicken is one of my go-to recipes when I want to cook a simple, wholesome non-vegetarian meal for my family. The basic recipe for this dish is my Mother’s so I know it is good as I grew up eating it. The fresh Methi (fenugreek) leaves add a lovely, earthy flavor to this dish. You can also use dried fenugreek if you don’t have access to fresh leaves and you should be able to find both fairly easily in any grocery.

Goes great with plain rice, salad and Raita. If you thicken the gravy, it tastes just as good with hot, freshly made Chapatis.
