If you enjoy the pungent garlic flavor, then this garlic chicken curry will make you very happy. I had first learnt to make this lehsuni murgh masala way back in 2013 from my bestie Prerna. My entire kitchen was smelling so good that I couldn’t even wait till dinner. Sneaked in a couple bites straight from the hot wok. Almost burnt my tongue. But didn’t care. The ingredients for this Garlic Chicken Curry or Lehsuni Murgh are very minimal and unlike most Indian Chicken Curries you might have come across

The garlic chicken curry is a one pot hearty meal. Chicken tastes best when marinated for a minimum of four hours. I often leave it overnight. It also fastens the cooking process.
Cooking time for Garlic Chicken:
If you are using boneless chicken cubes, it will take 15 minutes to cook the chicken. If you use chicken with bones in, then it will take about 25 minutes to 30 minutes. TWO KEY POINTS to remember when preparing this Chicken curry: I personally prefer to keep the garlic chicken curry dry instead of swimming in a gravy. Which is why I also like to serve it with paratha. But if you choose to enjoy it with rice, then definitely add more water to increase the volume of the gravy in the curry. The Garlic chicken taste good with few refreshing heat from green chili however it’s optional if you think that might be too hot for you. Just garlic and black pepper with some cumin is enough to make it warm and comforting.
