Murgir Malaikari is very delicious dish. Here, I cooked Murgir ( Chicken ) Malaikari , followed by the popular Bengali recipe Prawn malaikari or Chingri Macher Malaikari . Here prawns are cooked in coconut milk gravy with some aromatic spices. It is a traditional recipe of Bengal and mostly we prepare it on some special occasion like weddings , birthday , any festival or for guests . This delicious , mild curry is so easy to make . The word ‘ malai ‘ means cream , but the creaminess of this curry comes from coconut milk .
Many people have shellfish allergy , they are not able to eat prawns, crab etc. I was also allergic to prawns . After my daughter was born, this problem went away due to some hormonal changes . Then I started eating prawn malaikari . But before that when this dish was cooked in our house , my mother would have made Murgir ( Chicken ) Malaikari for me.

Murgir ( Chicken ) Malaikari is a delectable blend of coconut milk , chicken and aromatic spices . It can be served with rice , Bengali style polao or luchi . If you like it more rich , you can cook this dish using ghee or clarified butter . This will surely add on some extra taste to this dish . You have some sudden guests dropping by and you want to prepare something exotic , then this delicious yet simple recipe can be a perfect choice . You just need all the ingredients in place to make this super delicious chicken dish . I can bet this delicious chicken curry with some hot steamed rice will make your lunch or dinner more delightful . You can get more Non Vegeterian dish from my blog by clicking the following link
