Today’s recipe CORIANDER CHICKEN- DHONEPATA DIYE MURGIR MANGSHO. Made with my beautiful aromatic home grown coriander leaves fresh from the herb garden.

Off late I have fallen in love with gardening and growing my own veggies; not only me but my beloved hubby too. So much so he insisted on growing sweetcorn and dwarf beans. Yes you heard it right sweetcorn growing in an apartment in grow bags; with unpredictable British weather, where the season changes with every blink of an eye. Next awaiting the strawberries 🙂

It’s just been over a week I have sown the chillies, sweetcorn and dwarf beans seeds. I was surprised to see them sprout within 3 days of sowing.

Now back to Coriander chicken or green chicken as my sister calls it; this recipe has been handed over to me by my mother. It is a simple chicken preparation made with lots of fragrant coriander leaves. This chicken preparation is dry (makha-makha) but you can always alter the consistency of the gravy as per your taste. It is a mild dish with full of flavour, and I am sure it will tantalize your taste-buds.
