Recipe: Bethica's Chicken Kasundi

February 26, 2024 16:29 IST

Bethica Das' Kasundi Chicken is pungent and will really hit the spot for lovers of the traditional Bengali mustard condiment.

The Sharjah-based food blogger used bottled kasundi paste to make the dish. But if you do not have any on hand, she suggests "add some homemade ground mustard paste. The end result is a yummy chicken gravy which can be relished with steamed rice, plain biryani, pulao, jeera rice, chappatis, parathas or naans."

Bethica, who lives in the UAE with her husband, a senior lecturer, also once lived in South India and cooks plenty of South Indan food with great elan, as well as her native Bengali fare. This chicken curry has strong Bengali accents.
