Bowl of Chicken Dhansak

Chicken dhansak is a delicious and stomach warming Parsee and Indian recipe. Generally, it involves simmering meat in a mixture of red lentils, green lentils or brown lentils and vegetables, onions, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, fresh coriander and spices. It’s a perfect recipe to make in the middle of the week, as it only has a prep time of 10 minutes and is made from simple ingredients.

In my opinion, it is a fantastic recipe if you would like to start cutting down on your meat consumption (lentils are great for this). In fact, you can eventually leave out the chicken for a luscious curry of lentils, onions, chopped tomatoes, garlic, ginger and spices.

So, if you’re starting your way on your vegetarian journey, try this chicken dhansak recipe today. Once you try this chicken dhansak, you’ll wish you had this recipe a long time ago. Enjoy and let me know how it goes.

Chicken dhansak recipe

A dhansak recipe involves cubes of mutton or goat, simmered with spices, red lentils, green lentils or brown lentils and other vegetables. In short, it is a vibrant recipe which combines sweet, sour and spicy ingredients in one bite. Usually, a chicken dhansak recipe takes hours to prepare. However, my version only takes an hour with only 10 minutes prep time, saving you lots of time and getting you the perfect outcome.  

I decided to make this recipe a tad lighter by substituting the mutton or goat meat with chicken. For best results, brine the chicken. This is when you add the chicken into a salt water solution first. The salt water makes the meat incredibly tender. You can also use chicken thigh fillets. Aside from chicken thighs, you can use any other cut of the chicken:

  • brined chicken thighs
  • chicken breasts
  • brined chicken drumsticks  
  • brined chicken wings

Next, my version is a lot easier because you add the chicken breasts with the addition of a homemade curry base sauce. Generally I like to make a large batch of it and then store it in my freezer for when I feel like a curry. It’s really handy.

You can also swap in garlic ginger paste in place of fresh garlic and ginger. It’ll still taste great!

If you’ve got leftover curry base sauce, here are a few curries you can make with it apart from the chicken dhansak:

  • Sweet potato curry with mushrooms and spinach –  a nutty vegetable curry with garlic, ginger fresh coriander and spices. Add lentils for extra taste
  • Mixed vegetable curry – a vibrant vegetarian curry that’s very tasty and nutritious. Again you can add lentils for depth of flavour
  • Beef korma – an intense curry with fresh coriander, garlic, ginger and spice flavours, with a creamy texture

Tempted yet?

Top things you’ll need for a dhansak recipe

Here’s a list of the top items and ingredients you’ll need to complete this chicken dhansak recipe. See the following products below:

  • Boning knife – if you bought a whole chicken for this chicken dhansak recipe you’ll need a boning knife for the chicken
  • Curry serving dishes – these curry serving dishes will bring authenticity to your dish
  • Slow cooker – if you’ve got a slow cooker at home then use it by all means for this chicken dish
  • Pressure cooker – the lentils and the meat are best cooked in the pressure cooker (I bet you can cut the cooking time by half)
  • Chopped tomatoes – tomatoes give the curry a rich taste and thick texture. You can substitute the chopped tomatoes for fresh tomatoes
  • Red lentils – red lentils are an essential component of this recipe. You could also use green lentils or brown lentils. You can also buy lentils ready to eat in a can, for a shorter cook time to this chicken and lentils curry. Another way to reduce the cooking time is to soak them in water for 40 minutes before you cook them

Chicken dhansak taste

This chicken dhansak curry recipe is a combination of traditional Indian spices and ingredients with lentils and sweet and sour elements. Most of the times, a dhansak recipe is rich and earthy in taste because it is served with mutton or goat meat and lentils. More than that, it’s quite sweet and sour in taste.

The sweet taste generally comes from the addition of sugar (brown sugar most of the time). However, in order to cut down on the sugar and introduce some more acidity, it’s common to substitute with fresh pineapple or lemon juice. With these added ingredients, you’ll get a big boost of vitamin C for good measure!

In terms of the level of spices, you can make it a mild heat. However, the original version calls for medium heat.

Chicken dhansak origin

A dhansak curry recipe stems from Persian and Gujarati cuisines. Originally, it was a Parsee dish. However, it is also a very popular dish with Indian people, where it was spread amongst Parsee or Zoroastrian people in India.

If we look at the word dhansak, ‘dhan’ refers to a Gujarati cereal dish. ‘Sak’ is derived from the word ‘shaak’, which refers to cooked vegetables.

Generally speaking, this chicken curry recipe involves a cooking technique that extends the meat with the addition of lentils or split peas and other vegetables. This is done because, in those regions, meat is considered an expensive ingredient. Therefore, you add the chicken at the beginning of the process, along with the lentils, onions, garlic and ginger, for a more filling dish.

While ghee is traditionally used, you can substitute it with vegetable, sunflower or coconut oil.

In Parsi culture, a dhansak curry recipe is served always on a Sunday. In addition, it is never served for three days when a family member or a close friend passes. This is because, culturally speaking, meat should not be consumed in the three days.

However, after three days of mourning, the dhansak curry is served on the fourth day. Lastly, a dhansak recipe is never served on weddings or other festivities.

Chicken dhansak slow cooker

Normally, a chicken dhansak curry recipe takes a long time to cook, but only 10 minutes to prepare. You add the chicken, lentils, onions, garlic, ginger, curry powder, chilli powder and other spices to the casserole, add chicken stock and other ingredients, and let it simmer away. The texture you should be going for is mushy, as the chicken and lentils break up into the sauce.

Therefore, I recommend you use a slow cooker or a pressure cooker. This will cut your cooking time in half! Other slow cooker recipes you can try:

  • Slow cooker lamb shanks
  • Slow cooker sweet potato soup

What to serve with a dhansak?

Caramelised brown rice is the side dish of choice for any dhansak curry recipe. You make it by boiling rice in caramel water. First, you start by making your own caramel until it reaches a beautiful hazelnut brown colour. Next, you dilute the caramel with lots of water.

Make sure you have enough water to boil your rice. Lastly, cook your rice in the caramel water. The rice will take on a beautiful brown colour. You could even cook the rice in chicken stock. Serve the rice hot, with a squeeze of lemon juice and some fresh coriander, alongside the chicken dhansak.

Other side dishes you can consider are:

  • White basmati rice
  • Jasmin rice
  • garlic naan, ordinary naan or peshwari naan
  • kerala paratha, chapatis or rotis
  • Roasted green beans with garlic (if you would like to cut down on carbs)
  • Bombay aloo or saag aloo
  • Mushroom bhaji

Which side dish resonates with you the most with this chicken dhansak? Of course, you can make all of these and make a feast.

Best toppings for dhansak

Here are just a few topping ideas which you can inspire yourself with for this chicken dhansak. In my opinion these are the best topping ingredients:

  • Freshly sliced pineapple
  • Fresh coriander leaves or a sprinkle of ground coriander
  • A squeeze of lemon juice with zest
  • Add the chicken with slices of fresh red or green chillies, or some chilli powder for extra heat
  • Add a sprinkle of garam masala at the end
  • Add a tbsp of mango chutney for a tangy twist

Other toppings that also work for this chicken dhansak recipe are:

  • Peanuts or cashews
  • Yoghurt
  • parsley
  • roasted vegetables

Add some fresh coriander for a beautiful garnish.

    Roast chicken is my all-time favourite – plain or with a light sprinkling of black pepper or mixed herbs. Chicken stews and casseroles would be next on my list, with herby dumplings and lots of fresh chunky cut vegetables. If neither of these are classed as ‘recipes’ I’ll add a homemade version of spicy Nando’s-style chicken with peri-peri chips and savoury rice with fresh green side salad.

    i make ‘chicken in a pot’ and my kids love it – its basically a pot roast chicken with herbs, bacon, lemon, garlic and potatoes – then the left overs go in a pie!

    Sorry but I don’t eat chicken as I’m veggie. I don’t even eat meat replacements such as Quorn so I can’t suggest a way to use that instead of chicken.

    I am vegan so I haven’t eaten chicken for many years and I find the Marks and Spencers No Chick Chicken is an fantastic substitute for any chicken recipe. I use it in casseroles and my meat eating boyfriend loves it. I take inspiration from a lot of recipes even if they have meat in I just substitute with a plant-based alternative!
