Ganesh’s World’s Best Chicken Curry (GWBCC)

Ganesh’s World’s Best Chicken Curry (GWBCC) recipe is from my dear friend Ganesh (or Mr.G as many knows).  Ganesh claims his chicken curry is the best in the world.  I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical in the beginning hearing his claims, but after tasting his dish for the first time, had to eventually change my mind and accept (sincerely) his claims as true!

I cooked the GWBCC in my kitchen recently and it came out so good (OK, I agree, it came out very close to his preparation, nothing can beat his preparation!!!).  I requested Ganesh if I can publish his recipe in my blog (with his permission), and he was kind enough to agree.  Of course world class recipes are supposed to be shared with the whole world right, Ganesh – many thanks again for sharing your recipe in my blog!

It is very interesting to note that GWBCC recipe only contains a bare minimum of garam masala items, but still tastes so awesome!  This dish goes very well with white rice, biryani, chapathi, idli, dosa etc.

I have some recommendations for my Vegetarian/ Eggetarian fans on how best to adapt this recipe for their needs, tips under Notes section.

Now, over to Ganesh!  Here is the recipe you have been waiting for – Ganesh’s World’s Best Chicken Curry (GWBCC) !!!

Recipe Notes

• If you are using Country Chicken, make sure you get young one as older chicken tends to be chewy. Cooking time may be longer for country chicken when compared to regular chicken.  No need to pressure cook country chicken, you can cook in the regular pan itself, you might need some extra time, that's all!.
• In Ganesh’s own words: “When you add coconut milk/ cream, the curry color will change from green to white, and when you add my masala powder towards the end, it will change from white to brown/ red”.
• Veggi Twist: Vegetarians/ Eggetarians - you can use this recipe and cook awesome mixed vegetable/ mushroom/ choya chunks/ paneer/ egg (boiled) curries.  Just name the dish accordingly (GWB"X"C) !!!
