: Years back, just after finishing my class 12th exam during holidays the best entertainment was to watch those classic cooking shows. Can’t remember the name of the show where I learned this recipe of Hara Bhara Murgh, but this dish has always been loved by my family. I am sharing this quick and easy recipe for a delicious Indian style Green Curry Chicken.; This is also known as Chicken Hara Masala or Chicken Hara Bhara.
