  • Glad you like it Anuja. I honestly am not sure what region.I think it is originally called Kabuli Chicken but I just kind of made it into a curry form by adding coconut milk and kasturi methi. Also it is popular in India amongst the Bohra community where it is made with mutton and is called "Chana Boti" but it usually is dry dish where coconut milk is not added.I have tried that too and it is very yummy.
