Paneer Jalfrezi!
It’s such an easy to follow recipe. I enjoyed cooking and eating it.
Delicious Biryani! The whole family enjoyed eating and I loved making it!
Love your recipes and videos! Can you please give some advice about what Garam Marsala to buy or a recipe to make my own. I have tried some garam Marsala that have not tasted very good,
Thank you, Cathy
I’d love to try this. Is there a written recipe, or only the video recipe? I see the ingredient list, but am unable to find a written recipe.
I’m sure enjoying the “Healthy Indian” book!
Thanks
I’m so happy I found you!!! You’re amazing!!! I’m basically Binging all of your content as we speak and it’s been a blast – keep up the good work and massive success will follow!!!

I LOVE this recipe. I used tofu instead of chicken and vegan yogurt instead of dairy yogurt. The results were fabulous. I love Chetna’s recipes because they are vibrantly flavored and adaptable. This is one of my favorite Chetna recipes.
The best chicken curry recipe ( I add a pinch of fenugreek as it’s super strong)
I made this last night, and my family loved it. Perfectly spiced, flavorful. Delicious.
I will make it again. But I did underestimate the time for the various steps. However, I have my notes, and will be able to get this on the table, next time, much more smoothly. I also liked that by the end of the cooking, I had a neat and tidy kitchen, and only one potto clean up. So cool. Thanks for a fabulous meal.
Looks amazing! Any recommendation/subs if need to make it dairy free?
Looks amazing….. Can this be layered up and refrigerated overnight (before allowing to come to room temp and cooking?) – I am thinking if I have friends over, it is always nice to spend time with them…!
