Sunday and Chicken curry with steamed rice is Bengalis emotion.
And it is very common that each Bengali house smells of “Kosha mangsho” (piping hot chicken curry) on a Sunday afternoon.
This microwave chicken curry has a emotion and history with me. This is that chicken curry which I used to cook when I first came to America and stayed in a hotel with no kitchen but just microwave.
Before we’ve shared many chicken curry recipes which are quite tempting,but believe what we’re going to share today is that it’s no effort chicken.
There are many people who love away from there home and miss “ghar ka khana,” (homemade food)….. don’t worry folks here we brought a solution to it.
There are many newlyweds who struggle with “the recipe” with which they can have their first impression to the in-laws, so worry not this that recipe you are searching for ,in short ‘smart cooking’.
