Nepali chicken curry is a no fancy curry with full of flavor. The best flavors of this curry come out with the country chicken. In India , I have always made Nepali Chicken curry using country chicken. Though it take time for the chicken to get tender but the end result is worth all the patience.
During my newly married days , my hubby was much into impressing me with his ability to cook. Ya it was opposite. Instead of me impressing him. Haha . We had our antics and pitter pater but it was fun. It was a way to get to know each other and bond with our love of food.This recipe of Nepali chicken curry was one of the recipes he made. During one of his office stays in Lonavala , the gurkha (Security) used to make this nepali chicken curry for him and his friends.
