Every place has their own style of dhabas and other street food joints. My first visit to a dhaba was to Deluxe Dhaba at Ambala Cantt, way back in 1993. They used to serve hot tandoori rotis and phulkas with chicken curry. This simple and delicious dhaba style chicken curry is cooked with spices to get the maximum flavour. An amazing recipe from North Indian dhabas that is enjoyed by travelers and truck drivers. Enjoy this spicy and delicious curry with hot rotis, naan, jeera rice, etc.
