Creamy chicken/ Murgh Kalimirchi

Creamy chicken is a Rich gravy made using Cashew paste which gives it a nice creamy texture

Mildly spiced chicken gravy this creamy chicken can be served with any Indian bread/ Fragrant Rice dishes, I have combined this with flaky Indian layered bread(Laccha paratha)

Creamy chicken/ Malai Murgh Kalimirchi uses mild spices so that you get the taste of Pepper as the main Ingredient, and the Cashew Paste gives it the Richness & creamy gravy
In this Recipe there is no paprica/ red chili powder used, just the freshly ground Pepper powder is used & all spice powder.
