A super fragrant and tasty chicken dish made using methi leaves. This chicken dish tastes great with rice, roti, phulka 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.
