Creamy Methi Chicken Gravy
Creamy Methi Chicken Gravy is a delicious, mouthwatering, thick and creamy gravy that will go perfectly well with zeera rice and roti/naan.
My little son,E has recently gotten very interested in gardening, and he along with his daadimi (grandma) planted some methi seeds. And he was patiently waiting for days to pluck and eat it. So, I decided to add it to the chicken gravy I was going to cook today for lunch. Well, I have to say even I dint expect it to be soooo good! It turned out delicious and well balanced!
I served it with zeera rice, but I am sure it'll go perfectly well with roti / naan .
Do try it! And let me know what you guys think!
