Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana Recipe

Out of the many Hindi films that revolve around food – head here if you’re wondering which  ones – one of our favourites is Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana, a 2012 comedy film produced by Ronnie Screwvala, Siddharth Roy Kapur and Anurag Kashyap.

The Story

In the movie, Omi Khurana returns to his native village in Punjab, on the run from a UK gangster and finds that his grandfather has forgotten the recipe for the Chicken Khurana, which is his family dhabba’s signature recipe. Through the course of the movie, Omi tries to recover the recipe with the help of his love interest, Harman. Eventually, he discovers that the recipe includes a narcotic, but vows never to reveal that secret to anyone.

Trying to recover the recipe goes a long way in bringing the erstwhile estranged Harman and Omi back together. Inspired by the power of a good chicken dish, we’ve put together a recipe for our own version of chicken khurana, adapted from a Punjabi style chicken recipe.

Serve with rice or rotis for lunch or dinner.
