Afghani Chicken Curry is a very flavorful main course recipe in which marinated chicken will be first shallow fried until dark brown then cooked in a thick onion based gravy. I have learnt the recipe from my friend Ankita. The Afghani chicken tastes best with plain chapati or naan or light pulao. Try this recipe in your kitchen and let me know how it turned out for you.
