Ninja Speedi Chicken Pathia Curry Recipe
Description
A Pathia curry is a classic Parsi-Indian dish known for its sweet, hot, and sour flavour profile. This adaptation brings the traditional recipe to the modern Ninja Speedi cooker, creating a perfectly balanced curry with tender chicken pieces.
The Ninja Speedi's unique dual-cooking capability allows the curry sauce to simmer while the chicken cooks above, resulting in perfectly cooked meat and a rich, flavourful sauce in a fraction of the traditional cooking time.

Note
Extra Tips: For best results, verify chicken pieces are uniform in size for even cooking.
Marinate chicken in yoghurt for 30 minutes before cooking for extra tenderness.
If sauce is too thick, add water gradually until desired consistency is reached.
For a richer flavour, add a tablespoon of butter at the end of cooking.
