Chicken Patiala / Murg Patiala is curry from the land of Punjab. Cooked in fragrant spices this dish is served with chapati on the sides of Dal & Rice.
As you all know chicken is mostly consumed at our house and Mr. K needs variety now and then. So I am trying to cook different varieties of chicken curries from different Indian states and developing the recipe to our taste. I found many version of Chicken Patiala recipes available on the web. Use of cashew nut and cream were the most common. Then there was tandoori version of chicken patiala, which I found quite similar to tikka masala.
I have somewhat mixed quite a few recipes and created this delicious recipe. It was spice, succulent and delicious.
