Shan Chicken Handi Mix helps you prepare the authentic traditional stir-fried Curry for a delicious and mouthwatering experience. Chicken Handi is one of the popular curries in India. It is mild and creamy (without adding cream) and very flavourful. This restaurant-style Chicken Handi made with lots of yogurt and coriander seeds is fairly easy to prepare and makes a perfect weeknight meal or entertain guests.

The name Handi stands for a clay pot or a terracotta pot. And this particular curry is traditionally cooked in a clay pot which adds more depth to this curry. But If you don’t have one, not a problem guys this curry can be prepared in a pan as well. Now, who has a decent-sized clay pot or handi at home nowadays. The truth is, it is not even readily available here in the UK.
