Bengali Style Chicken Thin Gravy - Bongs Sunday lunch is incomplete without meat whatever it is Chicken or Mutton. Here I tried to make Chicken Thin Gravy or Murgir Patla Jhol.My hubby and daughter love to have this preparation just with steamed rice and salad. This dish is cooked with potato. ...as I mentioned it as chicken's thin gravy so it needs more water to cook compared to other chicken dishes.Â
