Most of us love chicken because of its nutritional value, easy digestibility, low cost compared to mutton and most importantly its extreme versatility.

With Chicken, you can prepare varieties of Chicken Recipes. From simple Chicken Curry to Murg Maslam, Chicken Butter, Chicken Rezala, Chicken Jalfrezi, Chicken Mulligatawny Soup, Chicken Tikka, Chicken Lollipop, Chilli Chicken, Chicken Biriyani, Lemon Pepper Chicken, Garlic Chicken and so on.

I have one friend who can cook amazingly. He can cook various dishes with minimal oil and spices. He often would come to our home and would cook a stuffed whole chicken marinated with some spices. He just put the whole marinated chicken in the pressure cooker. After one whistle, he would take out the whole chicken. Then he would fry this boiled whole marinated chicken with butter. I did not taste this. Because I do not eat any meat. Other members in our family remarked this whole Chicken Recipe as “super tasty.”

I am presenting here one of the most simple, home-style Chicken Curry recipes. This chicken Curry Recipe goes well with rice, chapatti, naan, and paratha.

We in our family, we avoid very rich spicy Chicken Recipes. We prefer simple less spicy Chicken Recipes. So Chicken Curries are made in our family very lightly.

I must share here the background of presenting this Simple Chicken Curry Recipe.

Yesterday, I went to my brother's house. He was cooking Chicken Curry. Oh, what a lovely smell! He really cooks very well. My brother said in Bengali, "Aaj amar ekhane kheye jaa" ("Today, take the lunch here").

Whenever I go to his house, he offers me various delicious food that he cooks.

I requested him to give me his Chicken Curry Recipe details. I also requested him to take a photo of his Chicken Curry Recipe. He took a photograph of his Chicken Curry Recipe.

He shared me the photograph and also the recipe of his simply cooked Chicken Curry Recipe.

I collected the details of his Chicken Curry Recipe and photograph because I wanted to publish this recipe for the blog readers of my blog 'Simply Delicious Recipes'. Chicken Recipes are very popular.

Actually, at my home I rarely cook chicken because I do not eat chicken, though I can cook various chicken preparations. Some of you might have read my Mulligatawny Soup recipe .

In a famous cooking contest, I was asked that whether I am allergic to any food. I informed them that I am allergic to chicken, prawns, crab, pork etc.

But at the same time, I had also informed them that though I do not eat the above, but I can cook them.

Anyway, I am here going to present a Chicken Curry Recipe which was sent to me by my brother Jayanta Mukherjee, as mentioned above. This is a Bengali style Chicken Curry Recipe.
