Description
Chicken Handi Market Deeping: a chicken handi curry from Eastern Promise on the High Street, named after the deep pot this style of curry is traditionally cooked in.
A little less common than a balti or tikka masala. A Chicken Handi Market Deeping order is a good choice if you want to try something new.
Chicken Handi Market Deeping: what you get
- A portion of chicken handi
- Pair with rice, poppadums or chips from our menu
Ask when you order if you want to check the spice level or ingredients.
What is a handi?
A handi is a deep, round-bellied cooking pot used in northern India and Pakistan. Curries cooked in one are known as handi dishes. They are traditionally simmered, which lets the sauce thicken and the spices blend, often with onion, tomato, ginger, garlic and sometimes cream or yoghurt.
How hot is it?
Handi curries are usually medium, but recipes vary. Ask when you order if you want to check ours. For milder, try the Royal Cream Chicken Korma.
Handi or balti?
Both take their names from the pot. A balti is cooked quickly in a shallow pan, while a handi is simmered in a deeper pot. Compare it with our Chicken Balti.
Chicken or lamb handi?
Prefer lamb? See the Lamb Handi. The Chicken Handi Market Deeping is the chicken version.
What to eat it with
The usual partners are Pilau Rice and Poppadums. For a change, try Onion Rice, or go the takeaway route with Large Masala Fries on the side.
Curry night at home
For a curry night in, mix a mild dish with a hotter one, add rice for everyone and a few poppadums, and share. Your Chicken Handi Market Deeping order works well as part of a spread.
Other chicken curries
See the Chicken Tikka Masala, Classic Butter Chicken, Saag (Spinach) Chicken Curry and House Special Chicken Curry.
Finish with something sweet
Cool down afterwards with a milkshake from our milkshakes or a milk chocolate chip cookie dough.

Eating it at its best
Curry is best eaten soon after collecting. If you have leftovers, cool them quickly, keep them in the fridge, and reheat until piping hot all the way through.
Goes well with
Pick a drink from our drinks, extra sauce from our dips, or a sweet finish from our desserts.
