Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this 'home style'?
It uses an everyday spice mix and a thinner gravy, much like regular household meals in India.
Are there potatoes in the curry?
Yes, we add potatoes which soak up the delicious flavors of the broth.
Is it dairy-free?
Yes, this is typically a dairy-free preparation made with an oil or ghee base.
Should I eat this with rice or bread?
It is highly recommended with steamed rice, as the thin gravy mixes.
How spicy is it?
It has a medium level of spice, balanced for a comforting home-style flavour, and the chef can adjust it milder or hotter on request.
About Chicken Home Style
Home-style chicken is exactly what the name says: the curry an Indian household cooks on a normal weeknight, not a version dressed up for a restaurant. There is no fixed recipe behind it, only the habit of cooking chicken down with whatever is on hand, usually a few potatoes to stretch the pot and soak up the gravy.
BHARAT cooks it the plain way. Bone-in chicken is simmered with potato in a thin, dairy-free onion-tomato gravy seasoned with turmeric, coriander, cumin, and garam masala. There is no cream and no cashew, nothing to thicken or enrich it beyond the onions and tomatoes themselves. The potatoes go in early so they take on the broth as everything cooks together. The masalas are ground fresh in the kitchen daily, the chicken is halal-marked and bought from Makro each morning, and no pork or alcohol is used in the food.
The result is loose and broth-like rather than thick, lighter on the palate than any of the makhani or cashew gravies, with the spicing kept honest and unfussy. It tastes of the base ingredients more than of a masala blend, which is the point of a home preparation. The heat sits at medium, and the chef from Uttarakhand will take it milder or hotter if you ask.
Because the gravy is thin, it belongs with rice that can carry it. Steamed basmati lets the broth run through, and a plain roti works for mopping up what is left. The potatoes round it into a full, comforting plate.
