Chicken Curry
Bone-in chicken simmered in an onion, tomato, and ginger-garlic base until the sauce thickens around the meat. A weeknight dish more than a restaurant showpiece, with variations in nearly every household.
Where it comes from
The dish reflects an everyday cooking method found across Indian regional kitchens rather than one fixed recipe: a base of browned onion and spice that gets adapted to whatever protein and vegetables are on hand. Its exact form shifts by state and family.
What cooks argue about
Cooks disagree over how dark to cook the onions before adding tomato: a long, deep browning (bhuna) builds more flavor but takes time, against a quick saute that keeps the curry lighter and faster.
Versions
