About Chicken handi

Chicken Handi is a flavorful and rich dish originating from Indian subcontinental cuisine, specifically popular in Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. Traditionally cooked in a handi, a clay pot, it features tender chicken simmered in a creamy, spiced sauce made from yogurt, fresh cream, tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, and a blend of aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala. The dish is often garnished with fresh cilantro for added flavor. Chicken Handi can be a good source of protein due to the chicken and contains beneficial antioxidants from its spices, such as turmeric. However, its creamy base contributes significant calories and fat, making it less favorable for low-fat diets. Using lighter cream or yogurt can enhance its health profile. Typically served with naan or rice, Chicken Handi is a hearty dish that combines robust flavors with traditional cooking techniques.
