Tariwala chicken is not seen on restaurant menus very often, but it is the highlight in an Indianu2019s kitchen and we grew up eating it.nI learnt the recipe from my dad, who was a master at making this dish. In fact, I have fond memories of him cooking a huge batch whenever heu2019d host a drinks party with his friends, where they would all eat bowls full of it whilst drinking whisky.nThe dish worked well then and it most certainly holds its magical appeal today, although my version uses ingredients you tend to have in your pantry as whole spices werenu2019t readily available when my parents first moved to England.nSo give my chicken curry a try u2013 you just might end up creating some happy memories of your own.
