ABOUT Handi Dum Chicken RECIPE

This happens to be my first attempt at preparing this easy and delicious chicken curry, cooked in a handi or clay pot. The chicken is marinated in an array of spices overnight. It is then covered with a foil and simmered away to perfection in a dum style. Relish this delicacy with jeera rice, plain Biryani, naan or tandoori roti.
