Green Masala Chicken Curry

Indian Green Masala chicken Curry

This green masala chicken curry is chicken cooked in lots of fresh cilantro/coriander and a few spices. A simple and easy yet refreshing recipe that gets done is less than 30 minutes. Serve it with rice, chapati or roti.

I have used boneless chicken thighs because my kids prefer boneless but I remember mom making this a whole chicken cut into pieces. She often made more gravy and served it over steamed rice. My kids love this with chapati or rice rotis.

To make this more or less spicy just use more or fewer green chillies. If you prefer to make this more green omit the turmeric powder. You can even add 1 tsp of bottle masala to this while sauteing but take note that it will make it more spicy as well.
