Top 10 Chicken Dishes That You Must Try (*Tasty*)

Due to religious reasons, a lot of people in India do not eat beef or pork, making chicken the most common meat in Indian cuisine. Some of India’s most famous dishes use chicken, including many that are enjoyed worldwide at Indian restaurants. You can enjoy the authentic taste of your favorite spiced chicken dishes at home with these recipes.

Here are the top 10 most popular and must try chicken dishes!

Chicken Tandoori

Arguably the most famous chicken dish in India and among Indians around the world. We grow up with this dish in India and every hotel or a roadside eatery shop will have the chicken dancing on the fire ready to be served onto your plate. The crispy outside yet tender inside chicken is one of my favorites and we can enjoy it with any sauce or chutney in the world.

Chicken Biryani

This is a dish that has reached the nook and corners of the world and is served by many chefs the world over. A very tasty chicken-rice combination, the dish is prepared by cooking both rice and chicken together in a special pot so that the rice cooks well and aroma captures the imagination of the person about to eat it. The preparation looks royal too and the person eats more with the eye than the mouth.

Chicken Chettinad

This is a spicy preparation and made majorly in south India and more so in the state of Tamil Nadu with select spices and preparation techniques. The dish is enjoyed by people of south India and the rest of India is yet to catch up on the craze of this delicious chicken recipe.

Butter Chicken

Every Punjabi’s delight and a cult recipe all over the world. This is a chicken gravy made with butter as its base and has made many tongues go bonkers over it. Possibly the second most popular recipe in the world after the Tandoori.

Chicken Tikka Masala

Another famous dish that can be enjoyed in any hotel across India. We love to grill our chicken and then cook it with the finest Indian masala. This recipe is no different. Grilled chicken with all its crispiness in a gravy that is rich in taste and aroma, that’s Chicken Tikka Masala for you.

Chicken Korma

This is a mild dish made out of yogurt and select spices and is a rich dish that will make your senses admire every bit of the preparation running down your throat. Very famous in regions of north India, this dish has cashew-nuts playing an important part in its taste and grandeur.

Chicken Saagwala

A light curry dish common in northern India, chicken saagwala consists of pan-fried chicken combined with spinach and a flavorful sauce. It is one of the healthier choices on Indian menus. Pair it with rice and you have a complete meal the whole family will love.

Basic Chicken Curry

This basic chicken recipe is also one of the tastiest. Although many chicken curries include yogurt or cream, this recipe creates a thickening agent by processing the fried onions, tomatoes, garlic, and ginger into a paste. Serve chicken curry with hot chapatis (Indian flatbread) or white rice.

Palak Murg

Who would mix spinach in a chicken recipe and make it taste good? Indians would. We make sure that vegetables are a part of all our recipes and Palak Murgh is one of the more famous ones.

Mughlai Biryani

A regal dish, Mughlai biryani is fit for a king (and was probably eaten by many of them). This recipe makes the perfect one-dish meal to cook up when you have company. Consisting of chicken (or lamb), rice, yogurt, and many spices, it is a filling and flavorful layered dish.

These are the most flavorful of all possible chicken dishes that you must not miss out trying!
