Nepali Style Chicken Curry Version 1 (Gravy) Recipe !!

I am very picky when it comes to meat. I will eat meat only if the flavors are nicely put through both inside and out. It hasn't been that long enough since I learned preparing meat dishes. I had to cook several times, call my mum hundreds of times and go through various recipes crazy amount of times to finally understand the ways of preparing flavorful delicious meat dishes. Not just delicious meat recipes, I was also able to learn how simple it is to cook meat dishes. If you have lots of patience and are not afraid of spices, You Got It!! Below is the recipe for Nepali style chicken curry and I use same techniques for almost every kind of meat. Enjoy :) Also, click here for Nepali Style Chicken Roast recipe , Click here for Kukhura ko Jhol Masu Recipeand click here for authentic Nepali Style Ajwain Chicken Curry recipe.
