Chicken Pathia with Lemon Rice
Pathia is one of those curries that appears to have been invented purely for the Indian restaurant industry in Britain, although it does have similarities to the hot and sour curries of South India and Sri Lanka. It’s a delicious combination of sweet, sour and hot; sweet from the use of sugar and caramelised onion, sour from lemon and hot from chilli.

Quite possibly the best curry I’ve ever had ... but won’t commit too much as got loads of Spicery curry’s to make yet ... super easy to make, house smells amazing and the spice levels just perfect ... might be a a busy weekend ahead of cooking. Thanks Spicery
Here's my attempt at Chicken Pathia, pilau rice and a chapatti.....thank you for making home made curry nights so easy and really tasty!
This looks delicious, great work - there's nothing like a homemade chapati to mop up the rest of the curry at the end!
Very tasty had a spicy kick but we both enjoyed it. The chicken was tender and the rice had just a hint of lemon which complimented. This was way better than any Indian restaurant we have tried.
Who needs restaurants when home-cooking is this tasty! It looks like you did a great job, Alice - nice one!
