Dahi chicken is a very simple yet delicious chicken curry which goes best with roti or plain chapati. Dahi or Doi means plain full fat yogurt. This dahi wala murgh has a delicious thick white colored yogurt and onion based gravy. Well, I prefer white colored doi chicken, if you like colorful then add some turmeric powder and red chili powder, rest of the recipe will remain same. You will get very soft chicken pieces and tasty gravy from this recipe. Try this in your kitchen, let me know how it turned out for you.

700 grams of curry cut chicken.

Dahi Chicken / Dahiwala Murgh / Doi Chicken

Steps

Marinate the cleaned chicken with yogurt, half of the ginger garlic and green chili paste, some salt and 1 Tablespoon of black pepper powder.

Cooking Step: Dahi Chicken / Dahiwala Murgh / Doi Chicken

Keep it aside for 2-3 hours.

Then heat oil in a pan.

Add the onion slices, cook for 3-4 minutes on medium flame. Do not make them brown.

Add the remaining ginger garlic and green chili paste. Cook for a minute.

Add the marinated chicken, cook for 10 minutes on medium flame.
