Dry Fry or Gravy? How to Choose the Right Chicken Main
Chicken dishes come in countless styles, but the age-old debate remains—dry or gravy? One gives you charred spice and bold heat, the other envelopes you in richness and comfort. At Tunday Kababi Dubai, both formats shine in their own way. But choosing the right one isn’t just about preference—it’s about what you’re craving, when, and how you plan to enjoy it.
Here’s a full breakdown of how to pick between Dry Fry and Gravy Chicken dishes so your next order hits exactly right.

What’s the Difference, Really?
Dry Fry chicken is all about spice-forward intensity. These dishes skip the sauce and go straight for flavour. They’re often grilled or pan-seared with bold, aromatic masalas that cling to the meat instead of drowning it. Think Chicken Fry or Achari Tikka—intense, compact, and full of texture.
Gravy Chicken dishes, on the other hand, lean into slow-cooked richness. Here, the spices are blended into tomato- or onion-based gravies that develop complexity over time. These are perfect for dipping, scooping, and savouring every last drop. Chicken Qorma, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Chicken Kadhaai fall into this delicious category.
When to Go for Dry Fry
If your mood calls for something fiery, quick, and satisfying, Dry Fry is your answer. It works beautifully as a starter or light meal, especially if you’re sharing. Want to snack, sip, and still have room for dessert? Go Dry.
It’s also the best choice when you want punchy flavour in fewer bites. If you’re ordering a combo or trying multiple dishes, a Dry Fry chicken lets you enjoy bold taste without feeling weighed down.
Tunday’s Chicken Fry is crisp, juicy, and spiced to perfection—ideal for grabbing on the go or pairing with Roomali Roti and mint chutney.
Why Gravy Chicken Still Rules the Table
For sit-down indulgence, gravy dishes win. They’re comforting, layered, and designed to be shared. A good gravy carries its own rhythm: the slow simmer, the thick aroma, the way it mingles with your bread or rice.
These dishes are also more forgiving and flexible. You can scoop, pour, mix—and each bite still feels balanced. When you want something to warm your soul or impress the table, a dish like Chicken Qorma or Chicken Tikka Masala delivers in spades.
At Tunday, our gravies are never one-note. They’re built from slow-roasted tomatoes, onions, whole spices, and finished with touches like ghee, cream, or lemon. What you get is a dish that’s both indulgent and refined.

Each is crafted in small batches and made to order. So whether you pick dry or gravy, you’ll never get anything generic.
How to Pair It Right
Dry Fry dishes call for lighter breads—Roomali Roti or Lachha Paratha bring texture without overpowering the spice. A chilled Salted Lassi or cold drink cools the fire just right.
Gravy mains are perfect with Butter Naan, Sheermal, or Jeera Rice. Don’t forget onion salad and mint chutney to refresh your palate between bites.
