ABOUT Shorshe Chicken RECIPE

Tangy, succulent chicken pieces in a golden gravy of mustard along with the hot touch of slit green chillies and a few drops of pure mustard oil. Enjoy this delicacy with hot steamed plain rice just like the way I used to enjoy when my "Thakuma(granny)" used to make it.
