PUNJABI CHICKEN CURRY RECIPE + VIDEO

Hi friends, today I am going to share a quick, and delicious recipe of Punjabi Chicken curry. Punjabi chicken curry is a spicy and flavourful chicken delicacy. It is easy to prepare and can be cooked in less than half an hour. Here I have used pressure cooker to reduce cooking time. This curry tastes great with pulao, naan, plain rice, idiyappam, dosa, idlis or even Chapathi and Rotis.
