This was the first of the 12 recipes from the Xmas Calendar. It was delicious but it started me on a marathon of Spicery Cooking. You see there was some chicken left over and I had some prawns so............

Nice middle of the road curry, nothing amazing but still very nice. Cooked with chapattis which were a bit more hassle than they were worth. Kinda bland but great for scooping up the sauce!

Achari Chicken & Saag Paneer, there’s nothing better! One made with vegetarian chicken, both taste amazing. Better than any Indian takeaway!

Now you’re talking! Did this with lamb instead of chicken. Slow cooked it in the oven. Served it with pilau rice and used the Haldi blend to make a Saag Aloo dish (potato and spinach) Really nice.

The Achari chicken was absolutely delicious courtesy of The Spicery - How to be a curry legend. The blend of spices offers the perfect blend of heat thanks to the mirchi blend and the best combination of the earthiness of the cumin, cardamon and the roasted cracked indore coriander seed from the holding blend which was absolutely delicious and made sure that the curry met with our culinary approval. The Jeera spice mix with a hit of nigella seeds and brown mustard seeds works so well with all the blended spice mixes. Well done Spicery on making the best spice mix for our weekend meal.

Achari chicken with brinjal bhagi, chilli mango and ginger chutneys, onion bhajhi, seekh kebabs and parathas. Brilliant recipe - succulent chicken and unctuous aubergine. Absolutely lovely.

Although I have been cooking Curry Legend recipes for some time. I am still amazed each time how easy it is to cook something amazing and different from the same Legend Blends. The Achari Chicken is a perfect example. Super easy, super tasty!

Loved this, added spinach and did do not use as much oil due to eating extra healthy this month

As I hadn't made Achari Chicken for a while I decided to do it again. It is a delicious mild curry and the Jeera blend gives it a distinctive flavour.

Brilliant family recipe! Achari is a great child-friendly introduction to the next level of spice from Korma, and very easy to make. Benji and his little brother love it - two clean plates! Thanks Spicery
