Cook the Chicken
Simmer and Finish
Replace chicken with 500g of bone-in mutton pieces to make Seyal Gosht. Increase the simmering time to 45-60 minutes or until the mutton is tender.
Add 2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and quartered, along with the chicken for a heartier Seyal Aloo Kukkar.
For extra heat, increase the number of green chilies to 4-5 or add 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper powder along with the garam masala at the end.
For a richer, creamier texture, stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh cream or cashew paste in the last 5 minutes of cooking.

One serving of Seyal Kukkar (approximately 350g) contains around 450-500 calories, depending on the amount of oil used and the fat content of the chicken.
Yes, Seyal Kukkar can be a healthy dish. It's high in protein from the chicken, which is essential for muscle repair and growth. The use of spices like turmeric and ginger offers anti-inflammatory benefits. To make it healthier, you can use less oil and choose leaner cuts of chicken.
Absolutely. You can use boneless chicken breast or thigh pieces. Reduce the simmering time in Step 5 to 15-20 minutes, as boneless chicken cooks faster.
Seyal Kukkar pairs beautifully with traditional Sindhi Phulka (thin rotis), Bhuga Chawal (caramelized onion rice), or plain steamed basmati rice. A side of fresh salad or raita also complements the meal well.
Store any leftover Seyal Kukkar in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors often deepen and taste even better the next day. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
If your gravy is too thin, simply remove the lid and let the curry simmer on medium-low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes. This will allow the excess water to evaporate and thicken the gravy.
