About Fijian-Style Chicken Curry
Shivangni S’s Fijian chicken curry represents the masala-rich style she distinguishes from the country’s other curry variations. This version uses bone-in whole chicken, potatoes and fresh tomato, with basmati rice and salad alongside.
Ginger-garlic-chilli paste, turmeric, masala, curry leaves and whole spices provide the seasoning. Mustard, cumin and fenugreek seeds contribute distinct notes, with ghee finishing the selected version.
The potatoes soften into the gravy around the chicken pieces. Optional lemon juice and fresh coriander brighten the finish; the publisher explicitly presents the curry hot.
