This time, I had the hidden masterpiece "Chicken Curry" instead of the signature dish "Keema". ..and it was surprisingly delicious.
Thedeep aroma of spices and the delicious flavor of the perfectly cooked chicken on the bone filled my mouth, and it was truly a curry lover's heaven.

A lot of meat on the bone! Chicken Curry with a hearty filling!

I ordered the Chicken Curry with Bone-in Chicken.
As soon as it arrived, the aroma of fragrant spices wafted out, stimulating my appetite.

Inside the dish are two pieces of chicken with bones that have been cooked well.
The chicken is so tender that a light touch with a spoon loosely removes the meat from the bone. The aroma of spices and the juiciness of the chicken intertwine perfectly in your mouth, making you feel happy.

The spare ribs are slow-cooked and hearty enough to satisfy meat lovers.

The signature dish is keema curry. But the chicken curry may be the best!

Minoringo is famous for its "Keema Curry," which is always highly rated on social networking sites and gourmet apps.
I have had that curry before, but when I tasted the chicken curry this time, I seriously thought, "This is the taste that will change the signboard! I seriously thought, "Isn't this delicious enough to change the signboard?

Keema curry is characterized by its rich and spicy flavor, but the chicken curry has a deeper taste.
The aroma, texture, and volume are all well-balanced, and it is a dish that makes you want to eat it again for sure.
