Chicken Rezala is my favorite and a famous Bengali delicacy that has a Mughlai Origin. Quintessentially, it\'s a chicken that has white gravy, unlike other chicken curry dishes, and is extremely flavorful with very delicate flavors. So, here is how to make it.
The loving recipe is expected to make Yummilicious preparation. If you find any part if not clear, you want more information, please feel free to add as comments, and our chefs will review for everyone’s benefit. Feel free to try/share the recipe and post the photo of your creation.
