Indian Chicken Curries Vol 2

The flavor of every dish is majorly dependent on the basic ingredients that go into cooking it. Depending on the recipe, the ingredients are chosen by great chefs to enhance the taste, look and feel that go into the making. For instance, Ginger + Garlic are used in almost every Indian recipe for that distinct aroma and the flavor. Garam Masala has cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, shahjeera, bay leaf along with other spices, roasted to a certain degree of heat and ground, for the taste and aroma besides a host of health benefits. Similarly, cashew nuts are roasted and ground to a paste for thick delicious gravies. Curd or yoghurt serves the purpose of adding a distinct sour taste and lends thickness to the gravy. Curd is also used for marination of meats to tenderize and remove the raw smell of uncooked meats.
Caramelised onions enhance the garnish adding a tinge of sweetness to the taste. Mint and mace have their own fragrance and taste. We have compiled this comprehensive list of basic recipes that go into the making of Indian dishes to assist you in turning out mouthwatering, aroma filled, delicious dishes.
