The kind of preparation varies from state to state, in fact each family might have their own way of making chicken curries. In my family, we do\u00a0make chicken curries in many different ways: with coconut milk, with just the spices, with ground onion\/tomato etc etc. However, adding yogurt or curd to the chicken curry is not common in my family. On the other hand, chicken curries in yogurt gravy is popular in North Indian and Pakistani cuisine.<\/p>\n<p>These days, when I make chicken curries I try to make it differently\u00a0each time by adding different ingredients, spices, herbs etc. The other day,\u00a0when I&#8217;d made chicken curry, I made a few modifications to the regular preparation method.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of\u00a0cooking the onion first and then adding the chicken, I fried the onion separately till it has browned and then added to the cooked chicken. Browned onion gave a nice caramelized flavor and taste to this curry.\u00a0After adding the masalas or spices, I added yogurt to make the gravy and allowed it to thicken. I even added mint leaves at the end, which instantly elevated the aroma and the taste of this curry. I was so happy with the outcome and my Man loved it too.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18357\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/chicken-potato-curry1.jpg\" alt=\"chicken-potato curry\" width=\"473\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/chicken-potato-curry1.jpg 473w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/chicken-potato-curry1-148x200.jpg 148w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation Pictures<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-18344 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/chicken-and-potato-curry-in-yogurt-gravy-chicken-potato-curry\/frying-onion\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/frying-onion-475x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-18349\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-18349'>\n\t\t\t\tFrying onion\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/chicken-and-potato-curry-in-yogurt-gravy-chicken-potato-curry\/making-chicken-potato-curry\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/making-chicken-potato-curry-475x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-18351\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-18351'>\n\t\t\t\tCooking chicken\/potatoes\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/chicken-and-potato-curry-in-yogurt-gravy-chicken-potato-curry\/making-chicken-and-potato-curry\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/making-chicken-and-potato-curry-475x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-18350\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-18350'>\n\t\t\t\tAfter adding yogurt\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\">\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Chicken and Potato Curry in Yogurt Gravy &#8211;
