Sindhi Chicken Curry

Home-style Sindhi chicken in onion-tomato gravy with the community's characteristic sourness — chicken pieces browned in oil with fried onion, ginger, garlic, and a masala of coriander, cumin, red chilli, and dried mango powder (amchur). The amchur gives the gravy its tart undertone; occasionally a spoonful of tamarind is added for a deeper sourness. Finished with dried fenugreek and fresh coriander. The everyday Sindhi chicken preparation made for weekday lunches and quick family meals; simpler than sindhi mutton curry but carrying the same characteristic sour note that defines the community's palate.
