Kadhai Chicken

[tintininamerica]

I like watching your videos,they are quick,easy to understand and informative.I would like you add a little more personal touch as in about the dish,when,where and on what occassion this dish is eaten,if not,you are still very good , I love you guys!

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@tintininamerica : We do try to do that but the videos tend to get long, lengthy and boring...and we prefer to keep them short and to-the-point...but we do thank you for taking time to give us your feedback :)

[MrPrithvis]

Omg this is not gud.. they dint add any salt, n u wont taste chilly, guys better u add ur own amount of of spices.. Im sure if u taste it just the way its done here, u will no be able to eat.. :/

[pergatron]

I love the green pepper - what a great idea!

One question - what is the advantage of adding the turmeric later in the recipe? I was always told to add the turmeric at the beginning, with the onions, so it can fry a little bit in the oil.. Thanks for the great video!

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@pergatron : Sorry for the late reply! The turmeric needs to be cooked in the Oil and we did add it to to the oil. The onions are cooked for a while and if the spices are added before, the chances of them burning are higher. Hence, the turmeric is add just before the rest of the liquids are added in the recipe. Hope that helps.

Two classy fabulouse ladies coocking like profesionals . This could not be any better.

Tell me one thing, How can I make a chicken or paneer recipe which should be very spicy. I want to make some light dish so that you won't feel hiccops or burping after eating that. Please.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@TheRanarana9 : You can reduce the amount of spices and add yogurt instead of milk. Both those techniques will help reduce spice.

[TheRanarana9]

Hi. Yesterday I made Kadhayi Chicken as per your instructions. And It was made so Delicious. Thanks a lot to both of you. Hetal & Anuja. Thanks for telling this recipe. I didn't add anything else except what you said. And my kids gone mad. Thanks once again.

[shilpichopra1982]

I love your all recipes . this one is one of the best .When I made kadhai chicken my hubby said that this is the one of best dishes I made ever

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@shilpichopra1982 : Great and thanks for your feedback :)

[marina400]

It is the best recipe I've ever tried. Thank you so much for uploading it.

[24jmeenakshi]

Hi,,,,,

Your dish is awesome.....

Just wanted to ask is it necessary to add milk into it.....????

And wanted to ask can we can add fried paneer into it...??

Please reply soon....

Awaiting for your response.....

Thanks,

Meenakshi.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@24jmeenakshi

The milk adds the creaminess but you could leave it out if you prefer.  Instead of adding paneer, maybe you can substitute the chicken with paneer. Chicken plus paneer in one dish may be too much :).

[lolxseekerx]

wah re wah is da best

[saroolicious1]

Hellewww hetal and anooja, tried this recipe and the gravy came out fantastically delicious! cheers to both of you for the complements i got after serving the dish :D

[shariyaaaa]

Kadai chicken with rice LMAO!!!



[scorpions411]

im watching this while eating a deepfreezer lasagna.... :(

[aguytr65]

Hi Hetal and Anuja,..Do you think Marinating the chicken with spices (like chili powder, turmeric, lime, etc) before cooking will enhance the flavor of the dish?..for some reason i feel uncomfortable adding raw chicken pieces directly to the onion/tomato mixture...

Also, i think will skip the milk n ginger julienne bit in the recipe...just my personal preference :)

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@aguytr65

You can marinate the chicken if you prefer but its not necessary for this recipe.

[MrFacebookonly]

hi can u teach me how to make butter chicken plz need 4 party

[cobbs13]

My wife has been watching your videos and cooking every night. I can't explain how good the whole house smells and how yummy the food is. Thank you for adding "a pinch of spice" in our life !!!

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@cobbs13  :)

[dippidop]

I've had many ready made curry meals, but this looks so much better...

Favorited for later :D

[warrior7466]

I swear to god I made this dish exactly as demonstrated and invited relatives. I've never been so embarrassed the dish was horrible. The carnation milk horrible, the Ginger cut in julienne supposed to put in at the end when u get a piece in the mouth makes u want to puke. To many different spices to much masala tasted horrible. Please don't try waste of time and money.

[rachiti]

@warrior7466 Just because you don't like it doesn't make it a bad recipe. Also, what were you thinking trying a dish for the first time when you had company!!! Any sensible cook knows that is asking for disaster. sheesh.

[zairt]

@warrior7466 this asshole comes on every video by Indians to swear and post bad comments....isn't

[visorkhan]

hi anuja i am a chef in north cyprus i like u show.

[J4archae]

we want cow mata karahi recipe please

[shahshahzad14]

its not a proper karahi chicken but a good recire

[ismihanna]

wow lots of ingredients

[Chustal]

dont call it kadahi may b u can call it stew it has tooooooooooo much gravy

[desidj75]

To Anuja and Hetal: i just want to say i like very much that your videos are truly instructional and not just theatrical. more on substance and less on style. i think anyone with all the right ingredients (and i don't see you using anything exotic or hard-to-get from a local indian store) can come close to making dishes as well and yummy as they look in your videos.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@desidj75 : What a wonderful comment! Thank you, thank you, thank you...

[drdukeful]

you screwed up the recepie .what type of kadai chicken is this .why dont u do your own recepie your other recepies r good but kadai chicken was awful.

[HeyyHuda]

omg that looks delicious!!!!

[ToffeeDod1antiffic]

It has too much gravy... Isnt Kadhai Chicken supposed 2 b dry?

[divya12002]

Hi Hetal n Anuja

great recipe

Can i cook the chicken in the pressure cooker and then add in to the gravy as whenever i cook chicken it does not get softened easily. can u pls help me with this.

would it change the taste of the recipe?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@divya12002 : We suggest that you do everything as the recipe says (but in the Pressure Cooker) add the chicken and add a little extra water, enough to cook the chicken. Pressure cook, open and then carry on the process. Cooking Chicken separately and adding to the gravy will not be the same....and your chicken will not have the flavor from the gravy.

Hope that helps :)

[aditnarayan]

You guys have such a nice big kitchen! I wish I could prepare something as elaborate and delicious in my poor student-size apartment :( Which of your recipes are most suitable for food hungry students like moi :)

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@aditnarayan

Thanks! Please check out our website (ShowMeTheCurry (dot) com) under the tab "Quick Fixes".

[mlc2005]

yum... you guys are great!

[sameer84ca]

Very bad recipe...you made a mess out of it, and made milky halwa instead of Chicken Karahi

[desidj75]

@sameer84ca highly disagree... the recipe is very clear that the evaporated milk is highly optional and you could use cream if you wanted... and per your taste! besides that, there's absolutely nothing in this version of kadai chicken that is "foreign" to mughlai cuisine... most of the steps are fundamentals to indian meat (or even vegetable) recipes, including the ingredients: nothing out of the ordinary. whoever you are, sameera, just messed up your own cooking and are pissed!

[tekobari]

I finally tried it, with some adjustments because of the milk. I had all of the ingredients, since we have many Indian stores in town.

It was out of this world. Thanks so much for giving us this video. You two are great cooks, and charming, gracious, women.

[shreyaschakrabarty]

this is like malai chicken !!! tomatoes and tomato puree... yukkkkk

[sannygsr]

Damn, I am sure it will be entirely gives "Tomato" Aroma. According to sources its not original "Kadai Chicken". Any then its your own recipe. But dont use and confuse the people with reputed dish names.

[jumar1281]

wow the aunty on the left looks like Rekha... so sexy!

[Honestguy1213]

@jumar1281: You are funny. I am sure the lady on the left would have appreciated your remarks more had you not used the word "Aunty". Anyway it is nice to know that people come here for more than just to learn new recipes..

[jumar1281]

@Honestguy1213

haha... actually the main reason i like this show is because of their awesome easy to cook recipes. i've tried quite a few of their recipes and they were all good.

[MADIPAK]

it was different version of chicken kadhai i have always known and cooked.the version i know and have cooked involves lots of tomatoes no onion and no milk or cream either. Something new and different is always good,i will surely try this recipe.

[ToffeeDod1antiffic]

Same here.

[Desi4evah]

Thank you for fulfilling my request. :)

[msn7777]

Oil is used in nearly all of your videos. Could I use margarine or butter instead, or will that ruin the cooking process. Thanks in advance.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Oil has a higher smoking point so it will not burn as fast as butter will when doing the seasoning, especially recipes that use mustard seeds, cumin seeds, etc. Also, we use canola oil. It is a healthier option than the saturated fat from butter or margarine.

[texassongbird81]

I know you mentioned the milk/cream also helps the chicken retain its moisture, would it mess up the dish too much if I browned the chicken a little bit before adding it to the rest? I have this thing about boiled chicken texture....I just wonder if the browned texture of the meat would mess up the flavor of the dish.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

A little bit of browning will not hurt the dish.

[yoursnilu]

u can also sprinkle little Kasoori methi on top in the end...it tastes good too...

[LovingBundleOfHate]

wat temperature do u cook the onions at? high or medium?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Either medium or high will work. If you use high, be sure you are around to keep stirring.

[vorpal22]

I like the look of this one... I'll probably try something similar, but I'll definitely go with cream instead :-). Life is too short to not eat cream!

[tekobari]

I'd never add cream or milk, because not only are my husband and I unable to digest most dairy, I don't like the flavor. Probably I'd add more puree.

But everything else about the recipe looks absolutely scrumptious. I love that you guys put the green pepper in last so that it still has some crunch.

This is one I'm going to make soon. I was hungry just watching it!

[adoshi1979]

Who asked you what you can digest?  Were they supposed to anticipate your needs?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

You can use coconut milk instead of cream.

[johnmair]

mankind first gained lactose tolerance at around 5000 BC when he domesticated cattle. If you're still not lactose tolerant 7000 years later then you're, genetically and evolutionary speaking, a little bit behind the times..... ;)

[tekobari]

Then you're writing off most of the world, since most people can't tolerate fresh dairy. Fermented/cultured dairy is easy to digest for most people. If study cultures other than white, Northern European ones, you'll learn something.

[Honestguy1213]

@tekobari: I guess "johnmair" had to learn the hard way of how NOT to be a smart ass!

[acf870]

u guys are addictive i swear.

[elengican1]

luv hetal. homely... the other one is sexy
