🇧🇩🍛 BENGALI CHICKEN CURRY – MURGIR JHOL, PROPER HOME COOKING!
There's something wonderful about a good Bengali chicken curry. Nothing fancy, nothing complicated, just beautiful flavours and a big pot of comfort food!
Known as Murgir Jhol, this traditional Bengali favourite brings together chicken, potatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, tomatoes and warming spices.
I love the way the potatoes soak up that gorgeous curry gravy. And unlike some thick, creamy restaurant curries, a proper Bengali jhol often has a lighter, thinner sauce that's absolutely perfect with steamed rice.
A little mustard oil adds that distinctive Bengali character, while cumin, coriander, turmeric and garam masala bring everything together.
It's the sort of food that's been cooked in family kitchens for generations, and that's exactly why I love it.
No cream, no cashews, no unnecessary extras. Just a fantastic chicken curry!
And don't forget the potatoes. For me, they're almost as good as the chicken!
Would you have yours with rice or roti?
