Chicken Rezala is an authentic East Indian white gravy delicacy originated mainly from Bangladesh and highly influenced by Royal Mughlai Cuisine.It's pale white semi thick gravy is smooth like silk.It's rich,it's creamy ,it has the perfect balance of sweetness to heat made normally with poppy seeds, curd,cream and cashew nuts. But I have been bold enough to use sesame seeds instead of poppy seeds and it tasted equally good. Rezala is regal and flavoursome.
