Chicken Lazeez literally means delicious chicken and this recipe let’s you make just that, an absolute delight to eat. I stumbled upon this recipe few months ago during some discussions with my friends on making something different and I tried it out today. I just could not afford to hold myself back even while it was cooking and did a few dip ins. I’m sure everyone would love it so I’m sharing this with you. It best goes with some home made roti, while if you want to have it with rice, you can add on some more curry. Both ways it tastes yummy and you would not stop at a single serving.
