Chicken In Fenugreek Leaves / Methi Murgh

Last week I went to a restaurant and there I came across this recipe Methi Murgh. It tasted great and then I realised  chicken and fenugreek leaves make a great combination together. So I made this delicious dish today at my place. It is different from the usual chicken recipes in taste but at the same time it is yummy both look-wise and taste-wise.

Add the tomato paste in the pan and cook for 5 mins.

Add the chicken pieces and mix well. Cook for 20 mins by covering the pan with a lid.
