Chicken Rezala BIR Style (with a Bengali Twist) | Misty Ricardo's Curry Kitchen

Chicken Rezala BIR (British Indian Restaurant) Style:

The full recipe is in CURRY COMPENDIUM, my latest hardback cookbook. Available from Amazon and all good book sites. To order: https://amzn.to/3zkxgbl. Visit https://www.mistyricardo com for more info).

It’s refreshing to be different and my new medium-hot curry recipe is just that. Although my rezala recipe is in the BIR (British Indian Restaurant) style, it captures the key flavours of the traditional Bengali Rezala.

This BIR rezala differs from the simpler versions served in mainstream restaurants: the creamy texture comes from the cashew nuts and yoghurt in the pre-prepared paste, which is pungent from the white pepper and poppy seeds. Further ‘bite’ is provided by black pepper alongside other whole garam masala spices.

Caramelised sliced onion gives some body and flavour, while special finishing touches of saffron and kewra/rose water give a beautiful aromatic taste.
