Delicious and creamy methi malai chicken which tastes great with rice or roti. This gravy goes perfect with pulao as well.
When I was looking for dinner inspiration online, I came across a picture of a spicy chicken curry served with some naan. I got so inspired by that so I made it almost immediately.
This chicken dish is so easy to make, you don't need coconut or any other kinds of stuff. If you use larger chicken pieces then it will be tastier. I used small cut chicken because of what I had on hand.
