Dum Ka Murgh recipe

Dum ka Murgh is a traditional Hyderabadi dish. Dum is derived from the Persian word ‘dum’ or ‘dum baksh’ meaning ‘to give breath to’. This means a technique of very slow cooking in a vessel sealed with a tight-fitting lid so that steam is prevented from escaping. 

In this Hyderabadi chicken recipe, the chicken is slow-cooked in a yogurt-based marinade flavored with various spices. This red chicken curry can be paired with a variety of rice and bread.
