Hola peepe!
With weekend just around the corner I wanted to share this mind blowing chicken recipe with you all. Gulabi chicken is rich and so yummy and not many masalas are used to make this dish.
I have learned this recipe from one of our Punjabi neighbours back in India. Any special occasion at their place and this Khoya chicken always made it to the menu. We used to lick our fingers off it was just so so delicious. Obviously I had to note down the recipe and have been enjoying it ever since. It goes wonderfully with soft naan or parathas.
