Velvet Chicken / Reshmi Murg



This time m updating here after ages...it doesn't imply that i was nit cooking..in fact right now m having n number of photos in my drafts.. now i have decided to upload from my phone itself.

Now coming to this dish,i prepared it just a week back at my home.its really really smooth in texture,in Pankaj's version simply slips through throat !

On Google,recipes were asking for  simply cornflour as thickening agent but according to me that ll not make gravy silky but just thick..so to make it trullyyy velvety i did my trial and it came out as blockbuster!!
So without further delay i present you all my trully Velvet Chicken !!
