Chui Jhaaler Murgir Jhol is a typical Bengali chicken curry. Chui or Choi Jhal is a creeper herb that is grown in the Khulna region of Bangladesh. The small pieces of this herb are used in cooking meat and fish curries. 

Chui, a spicy, salty and pungent herb imparts a distinct flavour to the traditional Jhaaler Murgir Jhol. In this recipe, pieces of chicken are cooked in a red gravy along with chui and other spices and herbs.

The classic Bnegali chicken curry, Chui Jhaaler Murgir Jhol, is delicious and mouth-watering.
