Basic Chicken Curry Using Pressure Cooker | Pressure Cooker Chicken Masala Curry | Bachelor`s Chicken Curry | Murgh Masala | Chicken Curry

Though there are lots  of chicken curry recipes in blog I have noticed that there was no recipe like how to cook basic chicken curry.So,I decided to share it and here is the detailed recipe with pictures and notes..Usually I cook chicken bone to make curries and gravies isntead of country chicken which takes lots of time..
I use small size chicken drumsticks and in hurry times, marinates the chicken for an hour with spices and then by chopping onion, tomatoes plus by adding curd pressure cooks it for 15 minutes in medium flame..Then the dish will be ready to serve..So,this is the basic yet simple method to try for beginners specially and that too pressure cooking means which is time saving too..
