About Tariwala Chicken

Tariwala Chicken (Murgh Tariwala) is a popular chicken curry prepared in most Punjabi households. In Hindi, tari means thin gravy. To make chicken tariwala, chicken pieces are cooked in a thin gravy made with onions, tomatoes, and Indian spices. This chicken curry is one-pot, made using simple ingredients, gluten-free, and can be made in a traditional pressure cooker or an instant pot in under 40 minutes. Serve it with phulka, steamed rice, or jeera rice with a side of laccha onions and lemon wedges for a comforting meal. Use bone-in skinless chicken pieces for the best taste and flavor. Having said that, if you are not a bone-in chicken person, you can use boneless chicken cut into bite-size pieces.

For The Curry

To make the curry, you will need cooking oil, bay leaves (tejpatta), cinnamon (dalchini), whole black peppercorns (kali mirch), cloves (laung), dry red chilies, onions, ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, coriander powder, garam masala powder, roasted cumin powder, tomatoes, plain yogurt (dahi, curd), and water. Use mustard oil for an authentic taste. If it’s not easily available, you can also use any other cooking oil or ghee. Adjust the green chilies as per your taste.

1 pound (500 g) bone-in skinless chicken (cut into 1 and ½ inch pieces) ½ teaspoon turmeric powder 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder 2 tablespoon lime juice
