One of the popular lip-smacking recipe we call it a KADAI CHICKEN. It is very famous in all the North-Indian menus of restaurants in India.

KADAI CHICKEN is a customary dish that is made up of Fresh Whole Spices and known for its beyond-belief flavor. Do you ever think why we gave this dish name Kadai?? Well Kadai is nothing just a wok or gridiron there is no such story related behind its name, just a recipe made up of whole spices with a tomato puree/sauce.
