What is chicken pathia?
A sweet and sour sensation, chicken pathia (sometimes known as patia curry) is a very popular dish that can be found on curry house menus all throughout the UK. And for good reason – its distinctive hot sweet and sour taste is something you have to experience!
But why go to an expensive Indian restaurant for a taste of chicken pathia, when you could save money and make this sumptuous sweet and sour curry yourself? With a 30 minutes cook time and very simple ingredients, it’s so easy to make!
Chicken pathia is a seriously tasty curry that originated in ancient Persia. Its exact origins are a mystery, although its thought that the Parsi, a religious group who followed the teachings of Iranian prophet Zarathustra, brought the delicacy to India.
Fast forward hundreds of years and chicken pathia arrived on the UK’s shores, blowing curry lovers away. It’s thought that this fantastic hot sweet and sour curry was brought to the UK by Bangladeshi chefs, keen to create a rival for the sweet and sour dishes so popular in Chinese restaurants all over the country.
Chicken pathia recipe
Unlike korma and tikka massala, which are very creamy, heavy and calorific curries, pathia – a Parsi dish which is a fusion between Persian (Iranian) and Gurarat cuisines – has a tomato base and is sweet, sour and spicy in flavour. By multiplying ingredients, its a great recipe for batch cooking and freezing.
Since the sauce is so versatile you can substitute the chicken with lamb, vegetables or prawns – prawn pathia is delicious! If you’re thinking of using one of the latter two ingredients, cook the sauce first and add the cooked ingredients afterwards.
If you look elsewhere for Pathia recipes on the web, you’ll find that most Indian recipes start with a base sauce and then different ingredients are added according to the style of curry you’re after.
Restaurants use this method because they work in massive quantities and creating the base sauce and cooking the meat in it first simply saves some time and effort. Don’t worry though, this recipe is straight forward and suitable for the casual home cook.
It’s always a good idea to get all your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Having everything organised will reduce the prep time for the recipe. This is a simple one pan dish with a 20-25 minutes total time for cooking.
Once your sumptuous curry is cooked, let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes. This will allow all the flavours to settle and will add to the taste of the curry. So this recipe is 30-35 minutes total time.
What ingredients are in chicken pathia?
But what makes chicken pathia such a firm favourite in Indian restaurants up and down the country? Let’s take a look at some of the ingredients:
- Turmeric powder – the ultimate super spice! Packed full of anti inflammatory and antioxidant properties, turmeric will give the chicken pathia curry a beautiful orange/yellow colouring.
- Green chillies – fresh green chillies add a touch of sweetness and heat to this curry.
- Cumin – the standard curry spice, cumin will add an earthy, nuttiness to the pathia curry.
- Ground cayenne – good for the heart and even better for the soul, cayenne pepper gives this curry a fiery kick.
- Chopped tomatoes and tomato paste – tomatoes give the sauce its thickness and add some acidity to the dish.
- White vinegar – a splash of white vinegar will add more acidity to this chicken pathia recipe.
- Brown sugar or jaggery –the sweetness of the chicken pathia recipe comes through with a bit of sugar or, even better jaggery. Jaggery is an unrefined dark brown sugar common in Asian cooking (see later section). It has a hint of bitterness of sugar molasses and the deep richness of caramel.
- Lime – the sour kick of this sweet and sour curry comes from the juice of a fresh lime. It really gives this chicken pathia recipe that extra zing!
How spicy is chicken pathia?
Chicken pathia curry is usually a fairly hot curry. But of course, like most curries, it’s quite adaptable.
You can tweak the ingredients to how hot, sweet or spicy you like it. Not only is it healthier than most restaurant curries out there, but it is low-fat, diabetic friendly, and gluten and lactose free!
How many calories are in a chicken pathia curry?
Chicken pathia is a supremely healthy curry recipe! It’s true… while there are so many delicious curries out there, not all curries are good for you. But chicken pathia is a great example of tasty, healthy cuisine. Indian curries don’t get much healthier than this.
On average, there are 292 calories in a 1 cup serving of Chicken Pathia. When each calorie is broken down, that amounts to 28% fat, 18% carbohydrates and 53% protein.
Let’s compare that to chicken korma. On average, there are 462 calories in 1 cup of chicken korma. When each calorie is broken down, that amounts to 61% fat, 10% carbohydrates and 29% protein.
So, there’s about 50% more calories in a korma compared to a pathia curry, while a pathia has almost twice as much protein!
The sweet part of chicken pathia
While there are many mouthwatering creamy curries to choose from, the thing that makes pathia curry stand out is its distinctive sweet and sour flavour. It really is absolutely divine – one taste and you’ll be hooked!
But how does this heavenly curry recipe get that sweet and sour element? It’s all down to a few key ingredients that really bring this curry recipe alive!
To sweeten this chicken pathia curry, you can use brown sugar. However, the traditional ingredient for this curry is jaggery.
A sumptuous, sweet ingredient, typically used in Indian cuisine, jaggery brings a deep brown colour and a syrupy richness. It’s a little less sweet than maple syrup, slightly thicker than honey and is a fantastic ingredient to use when sweetening curries.
This is because it has a slight spiciness and a buttery caramel taste. It really is a star ingredient and, if you can find some, it’ll really take this chcken pathia recipe to the next level.
You should be able to find jaggery at good international food shops or Indian markets. You can also get it online here.
The sour part of chicken pathia
For this recipe, I’ve gone with lime as the sour element for this curry. Lime is a key element in many Thai curries, and is often used in Indian cooking too. In India, lemons and limes are interchangeable – if a recipe calls for lime, you can easily substitute it with lemon and vice-versa.
Other fruits that can bring a sour kick to curries are oranges and grapefruits. Grapefruit in particular is great when paired with various spices, such as cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon, as well as chillis. When you add a pinch of salt to grapefruit, you intensify its sweetness.
The traditional sour element of pathia curry is tamarind. A type of tropical fruit native to Africa, tamarind is used in many dishes throughout the world. It’s hugely popular in Indian cuisines, hence its nickname ‘the date of India.’ It has an earthy sweet and sour taste, which makes it great for this recipe.

Feel free to add tamarind to this curry in place of or mixed with lime juice, for a more traditional taste.
Bay leaf in chicken pathia
Using a bay leaf (also called laurel leaf) in this recipe adds further sourness, with a little hint of bitterness that balances out the sweetness of the jaggery (or sugar).
Bay leaves are quite common in Indian cooking. Unlike curry leaves, they are added at the beginning of the cooking process and removed before serving. Although they are technically edible, you really don’t want to be chewing on a bitter bay leaf, so it’s definitely best to remove once the dish has taken on its flavour.
Curry leaves are normally added at the end of the cooking process. This is because if cooked for too long they will lose their flavour. When added at the end, they bring a nice freshness to the dish.
What other Indian curries are sweet?
- Korma – creamy, sweet and utterly delectable, korma is one of the most popular types of curry. Try lamb, beef, paneer (Indian cheese), vegetable or, the most common, chicken.
- Dhansak – another vibrant curry, with a sweetness and a sour element, dhansak is a warming curry packed full of flavour. Try this chicken dhansak recipe if you want something similar to this pathia.
- Ceylon – more Sri Lankan than Indian, ceylon curries typically use coconut as a thickener, bringing a mild sweetness.
- Kashmir – kashmiri curries are normally chicken based, using whole garam masala and dried fruit to create a mildly spicy curry with a sweet creamy richness.
- Dopiaza – derived from the Hindi word ‘do piyaz’ which translates as ‘double onion’ dopiaza has a sweet kick that comes from its caramelised onions. Traditional dopiza recipes call for fried onions to be sprinkled on top. Try this mouthwatering lamb dopiaza recipe.
What to serve with chicken pathia
- Mushroom pakora – one of the healthiest and tastiest pakora recipes, this mushroom pakora is lightly spiced and absolutely delicious
- Potato bhajis – one of the most popular Indian street foods, potato bhajis are a great Indian starter, with a deep fried crunch and subtle spice that makes a perfect pre curry snack.
- Bombay chutney – an intensely flavoured traditional Indian chutney. Once you’ve made your own, you’ll never look back.
- Coconut chutney – a healthy, aromatic heavenly tasting chutney that’ll knock your socks off!
- Coriander chutney – a fruity, sweet and tangy chutney that explodes in your mouth.
- Peshwari naan – a traditional Indian bread with a dried fruit and coconut filling, peshwari naan will be ideal for mopping up the sweet and sour juices of the chicken pathia curry.
- Kerala peratha – a flaky doughy flatbread that will be delicious when served alongside this hot sweet and sour chicken pathia curry.
Other delicious curry recipes
- Mung bean curry – this sumptuous bean based vegan curry recipe mixes spices like asafoetida, ground cumin, ground coriander and fenugreek seeds for a fantastically flavoured dish.

Wonderful pictures and recipe Michelle – it’s great seeing something cooked up in a professional restaurant kitchen like that! I love a curry 🙂

Don’t think this is like you would get in a restaurant. No base gravy for one.
Michelle Minnaar
Funnily enough, an Indian restaurant chef provided me with this recipe, which he cooked for me in kitchen. (After several years, I gave this post a facelift.) The beauty of this recipe is that you don’t need to go through all those extra steps of making a curry base sauce. Try it. Just maybe it will change your mind.
Michelle
You’re lucky to have grown up with Pathia, Nazima. I only discovered it 3 years ago and since then it’s become my favourite curry.
As for shooting with chefs in restaurant kitchens – it’s great fun!
Michelle
Thanks, Rosa!

You do have to fry for quite a while once tomatoes are added for oil to separate & have a shiny paste !

Luke
Thank you so much for this recipe. I had been meaning to try it for ages and last night I went for it.
I am a terrible cook, my Mrs does the vast majority of cooking in our house. I just don’t know what to do so I need very specific instructions – your photos were a big help I must say. However, I didn’t know what heat to cook on so I think I burnt it! 🙂
I know where I fell foul – I couldn’t find the lime juicer so had to slice it up and squeeze it. During this time I could smell burning, so I assume I left it cooking for too long.
★★★★★
michelle
Bummer, Luke. Don’t worry, we’ve all been there with “burning” issue. It’s brave of you to cook a new recipe and I’m sure your results will be even better next time!
Richard
Great recipe, such a simple and tasty sauce. I season my meat in tandoori masala spices and yogurt, grill the meat and add at the last moment. GULuess what im cooking tonight!
michelle
Hah, glad you’re enjoying it, Richard!
Kirsty
Is it just normal white vinegar or white wine vinegar, I’ve seen recipes that call for one or the other, but I don’t want to assume and get it wrong!
★★★★★
michelle
Hey Kirsty, you can use either. What you’re after is the tanginess the vinegar provides.
Graeme Pae
Love this Pathia recipe, but how would I go about making extra sauce with this dish for the mopping with naan ? ? Thank you
★★★★★
michelle
Good question, Graeme. I suggest using the same amount of chicken but doubling up on all the other ingredients. Ample sauce!
Nigel
Great recipe, so simple, yet delicious and make it for the family regularly. My favourite a the moment. Don’t forget the chopped ginger, you can see it in the photos but it is not included in the recipe ingredients.
Nigel
michelle
So happy to hear you love the recipe! Thanks for pointing out my ginger error, Nigel. I have updated the recipe accordingly.
Matt
Hi Michelle, fantastic recipe… I’ve made this before a while ago and intend to make it again tonight.
My one query is about the onion… I tend to weigh onion then chop, rather than chop and fill cup measurements to find 500ml. Could you guestimate how many grams 500ml of onions is?
Many thanks,
Matt
michelle
Thanks for letting me know, Matt.
I think in this case, size matters. 😉 My default answer would be 2 onions but if they’re small, you might need more. Then again, the more onions, the better – for me anyway! Happy cooking!
Barbara
Perfect recipe! Storecupboard ingredients, what could be better!
I made the base sauce and after the resting step I divided it into two pans, adding diced chicken to one pan and Quorn Pieces to the other, as I don’t eat meat, but my husband does. Worked fantastically. Authentic, just at the right spice level for us. Definitely will make again probably will try prawns next time, as I think the flavour would lend itself perfectly to seafood.
★★★★★
michelle
Thanks Barbara!
Nick Gregory
You didn’t state at what stage to add the ginger, also, I thought is was way too hot for a pathia. Is there a spice to cut back on to make it less hot/spicy?
★★★★
michelle
Hi Nick! Thanks for your comment. I like to add ginger at the early stages of the recipe, this way the ginger infuses nicely with other ingredients. You can also add it in the later stage of the cook, however it might not cook all the way through. Best to add it in the beginning in my opinion – it will also cut back on the spice factor. So my suggestion is to ct back on the ginger, black pepper and not to add any chilli. This way, you can enjoy a delicious mild chicken pathia. If you enjoy a small bit of heat, simply add a bit of cayenne pepper. Let me know how this works out for you 🙂
Jo
Take out seeds in the chillies
michelle
Also a good idea! But, depending on the chilli you can still have some considerable heat
Darren Slade

Hi Darren,
Sorry for making you panic. I’m panicking as well that after a major technical update on the website, the recipes have disappeared.
Fret not, if you follow this recipe, you’ll get the same result.
https://www.greedygourmet.com/recipes-for-diets/omnivore/leftover-turkey-curry/
You just need to cook the chicken from raw a little bit longer.
Hoping to sort out this mess soon and thanks so much for alerting me!
Kris
Hi. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I’m surprised not to see tamarind in there though. That’s what gives the sour taste in pathia, not vinegar. Looks like a good end result though. Imma make this later (with tamarind). 👍🏾
Matt
A stunning curry, went down well at a new years Eve party. Easy to make, easy to eat. Perfect !
★★★★★
Paul
What about the Ginger? This is my favorite from the Bangalore Brasserie on the Brecknock Road London N7
Michelle
Hi Paul thanks for sharing. For some ginger is a little too strong. I like adding it though 🙂 It’s best diced into small cubes to release maximum flavour. Best, Michelle
Alex Pittman
When does the ginger go in?
Michelle
Hi Alex,
The ginger goes in at the beginning of the cook, with the garlic.
Best,
Michelle
Paul
Do you skin and de seed tomatoes?
Michelle Minnaar
Hi Paul, I tend not to. Then again, if you don’t like tomato skin, you place fully ripe tomatoes in a bowl and pour boiled water over them. Leave them for about 10 minutes and the skins should split open, which would make them easier to peel.
Nick Smith
Hi Michelle
Shall i use tinned or fresh tomatoes?
Michelle Minnaar
Hey Nick, to date I’ve only made Pathia with fresh tomatoes but I don’t see any problem with using tinned if you’re stuck. Please do let me know how it goes!
Rebecca Beesley

Probably my favourite Curry. I do tweek the ingredients a little. I use a little ground coriander and garam masala and also a little chicken stock. I don’t use brown sugar , instead I use mango chutney and this adds to the flavour. I let it rest for at least an hour after cooking to fuse all the flavour. Marvelous !!
