Mustard Chicken

#chickenrecipes - Here is my version of a very easy and equally delicious chicken curry in mustard sauce. I used the bottled kasundi paste and if you do not have one, you can add some homemade ground mustard paste. The end result was a yummy chicken gravy which can be relished either with plain steamed rice, plain biryani, pulao, jeera rice, chapati, paratha or naan.
