Alu Bukhara Murgh is a delicacy that comes from the Nizam province. The dish is also majorly cooked in various parts of Awadh and also loved in Pakistan. Usually the delicacy is prepared with goat meat. But now with the passage of time, Indian plums got a whole new look when cooked with chicken.

The golden coloured curry is not just aromatic but also rich in it's flavours. There is a very minimum use of red chilli powder hence, green chilies give the flavour here. The use of plums or Alu Bukhara makes the chicken curry absolutely scrumptious giving a mild sweetness to the gravy.

Serve the delicious Alu Bukhara Murgh recipe with Butter Garlic Naan or Pudina Tawa Paratha and Kachumber for a weekend lunch or dinner.
