Afghan Chicken Recipe – How to Make Afghani Chicken at Home with step wise pictures.

Afghan Chicken Recipe. Super creamy and a different style of recipe for cooking chicken. This chicken dish goes great with rice, roti, or naan.

When i was looking for dinner inspiration online, i came across a picture of a spicy chicken curry served with some naan. I got so inspired from that so i made it almost immediately.

This chicken dish is so easy to make, you dont need onions, tomatoes and other stuffs. If you use larger chicken pieces then it will be more tasty. I used small cut chicken because that what i had on hand.

    Very interesting recipe… unfortunately dietary restrictions mean that I can’t have cashews and lemon juice..will it make a huge difference to the taste if I skip these ingredients?

    Dear Aarthi, I tried your Afgan recipe and the recipe turned out to be simply’WOW’hunnnnnn. I gave a twist by adding 3 green chilies for a punch. All my family liked the recipe.
    You must meet or communicate with my vision Smita Deo from Mumbai, she is a foodie. Check her on face book or Instagram.
    Bless you.

    Not the best recipe. There was too much spice. The instructions are a bit vague. I had to salvage this by diluting the sauce and then thickening what was left with yoghurt and cornflour

    Sureshot recipe to overcook chicken and the cream!
    Add cream after chicken is cooked. Not to make the mistake of cooking more than 2 minutes after meat is fried golden brown!
    Take the chicken out, keep it warm and covered and just cook the gravy instead, then add the cream followed by fried chicken, cooking in open pan for 2 minutes.
    Cheers!

    The Afghani chicken turned out brilliant last night. I simply followed the recipe as it were. Let’s just say I got my wifes stamp of approval and she took a zillion pics with her eyes wide open, for me that is complement enough.
