About Punjabi chicken curry

Punjabi Chicken Curry is a flavorful dish originating from Punjab, India, known for its rich and aromatic spices. The curry features tender chicken cooked in a tomato-based sauce infused with onions, garlic, ginger, and an assortment of spices like cumin, turmeric, garam masala, and chili powder. Often paired with naan or rice, it strikes a balance between vibrant flavors and comforting textures. While the dish is protein-rich owing to the chicken, its healthiness can vary depending on preparation methods and ingredients. Using minimal oil and opting for lean cuts of chicken enhances its nutritional value. Tomatoes in the curry contribute antioxidants like lycopene, while spices like turmeric offer anti-inflammatory benefits. However, the dish may be calorie-dense and higher in sodium when heavily spiced or paired with buttery sides, such as naan. Adjusting portions and ingredients can help make Punjabi Chicken Curry a wholesome choice for a balanced diet.
