Green Chili Chicken Curry

Green chili chicken curry is simple and easy dish to make. If you are looking to make a chicken side dish for chapati or Chicken biryani . You should give this recipe a try. When I first saw this recipe name, I thought it’s gonna be too spicy.

But it was not that spicy and it depends on how many green chilies and how strong the green chilies are. Adding coconut and fennel gives the dish a rich flavor.

My sister Kavitha shared this recipe with me. I tried it last week and it came out awesome and tasty. Thanks to her for sharing this recipe with me.

  27. Hello Priya,
    As you know that I am a big fan of Spicytasty website?. Yesterday as I was scouring my mind as to what to make for dinner, I came upon this recipe of yours. I made this gravy for dinner and the last we know that we kept licking our fingers. Thank you for putting these recipes out here for us and thanks to your sister for sharing her recipes. It has a very subtle taste to it without been too spicy. One word – just loved it.

    • Hi Romie, Coming from you, a wonderful cook, is really a great compliment for me. I am glad it came out well and You’ve liked it.

  28. hi Shriya
    first time here..really beautiful space, chicken curry looks too good..

    cheers..do drop in sometime…

  29. Looks absolutely lovely, but I have to ask.. can you really taste the fennel seeds? What sort of taste do you get from it? The reason why I’m asking is because I don’t like fennel, and was wondering if it would change the dish drastically if I didn’t include it.

    happy cooking

    chris

    • You could reduce the quantity of Fennel seeds, if you don’t like it’s flavor. You can cook without it too. It won’t make that much of a difference.

  37. Thanks for your delicious recipes. Am a bit confused you mention aniseeds as wejj as fennel seeds. i thought they both were alike. Perhaps you meant staranise and not aniseed. Please clarify
