Chicken Pasanda Recipe

This Easy Chicken Pasanda Recipe is Tops – Super Quick and Tasty!

What is a Chicken Passanda?

This Chicken Pasanda Recipe is typcially a milder, more creamy and richer curry.  It is thought that it was traditionally made with a leg of goat or lamb.  Traditionally the meat from the leg would be cut, trimmed and flattened into strips and then cooked with the rich, tasty, Pasanda sauce.

In the present day, a pasanda curry can also be made using chicken (as per this recipe) or with king prawns or vegetables.  In any case, the process and ingredients remain generally the same and are easy to follow, resulting in an amazing flavoursome curry.

Although this recipe is milder than I would normally make, you can add more chilli powder or fresh chillis to suit your taste, but don’t over do it as you may miss out on some of the more delicate flavours that are present within this recipe if you make it too hot… Continue reading

Fiery Vindaloo

Chicken Vindaloo Origins

The Vindaloo itself, originated in the Indian region of Goa and it is derived from a Portuguese dish known as “Vinha De Alhos” which translates as “wine and garlic”.  The Portuguese dish was effectively a wine and garlic based stew which was typically made with Pork and served around Christmas time.  However, after the dish was introduced to India, it changed rapidly to what we now know as the Vindaloo with the introduction of chillies and different Goan spices.   Continue reading
