Different regions make different kinds of chicken with some of the southern varieties turning out really spicy while some of the northern were are spicy and some rich. Chicken\u00a0can be mixed with milk and its by-products to make it less spicy and more rich and it goes well with any kind of Indian breads. Today I used milk, curd and cream to make Malai Chicken. This boneless variety made with chicken breasts turns out rich and tastes delectable. I\u00a0also added some <em>kasoori methi<\/em> to bring out a distinct taste. I served it in main course and everyone enjoyed the serving with home made <em>roti<\/em>.
