Chicken Curries

There are so many varieties of Chicken Curry from India to Thailand to Trinidad. Not only is their variety from country to country, but also from region to region within each country.

In India, each state has many varieties of curry chicken from thick and luscious curries thickened with coconut milk or cashew nut paste to thin tomato based curries and from wet curries to dry curries. I could probably make Chicken Curry every day for a year and still not try all the varieties available in South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Caribbean.

Thali’s

A thali is a traditional way of serving meals in India. Served with rice and flatbread, a variety of small dishes are served to accompany them. India is not the only country that has these. In Indonesia, it is caleld a rijstafel, which translated is a Rice Table, as rice serves the center of the meal. Each state of India has its own dishes that are included in a thali. For special occasions, thali’s can include as many as 20 or more dishes. As you finish eat, the little silver vessels are replaced with others. My thali for Uttar Pradesh was a very simple one, but even this mini thali including Locknowi Chicken Curry was delicious.
