Very delicious! It was spicy and I only used 3 of the chilies. We had to drink milk for this one but very flavorful. The recipe instructions were so easy follow. I had never attempted making Indian food because it seemed so intimidating. I was so excited to say I made homemade Indian food! My 10 year old had 2 helpings!
We enjoyed the Achari chicken and it was our favorite so far! Deeply spicy and tastes as if it used many different spices. My daughter is vegetarian and suggested using potatoes instead of chicken in the future. If you want the sauce a little thicker, take lid off and reduce sauce a little. Highly recommend.
Super easy to follow recipe instructions, and incredibly delicious and fragrant chicken. The resulting curry-sauce was flavorful, spicy, and SO GOOD. I am already looking forward to making this again! The only thing is when I simmered the chicken in the sauce for 25-30 minutes with the lid on, the broth was still too watery at the end. I removed the lid and let it simmer for 30 extra minutes.
Angela,
Thank you for the incredible 5-star review! ⭐ We're so happy you loved the flavors and found it easy to follow. Your tip about simmering with the lid off for a thicker sauce is super helpful - cooking times can vary based on stovetop heat and pot size, so we really appreciate you sharing what worked perfectly for you!
