Growing up, our kids loved the malabar chicken masala we used to get at the local restaurant. Paired with parathas this was a delicious combination. Our kids are now grown up and those local restaurants are many many many miles away in another continent. This was Ron’s attempt at replicating it in the TastySpicyDelish kitchen and it brought back so many fond memories.
