Kadai Murg has its roots in Punjabi and North Indian cuisine, where cooking in a traditional iron kadai (wok) enhances the flavor.

It is a staple dish in Indian dhabas (roadside eateries) and is loved for its bold, rustic flavors and smoky aroma. Originally, the dish was prepared using freshly ground spices and cooked over an open flame, giving it an earthy depth.

Today, it remains a popular dish in Indian households and restaurants, often enjoyed during celebrations and special occasions.
