Kashmiri Chicken

"This is one of my favorite ways to prepare chicken. It comes from "Complete Indian Cooking", a cookbook I received as a gift for my wedding. The addition of plain yogurt toward the end of the cooking time gives this a deliciously mild and creamy flavor, which makes a wonderful contrast to all the spices. This is best eaten with some good basmati rice, but plain jasmine rice works too."

  1. Made this tonight and was very very good. Made it just how the recipe says and turned out great. See myself cooking this one many more time in the future!!!!
     
  2. This was a good basic recipe, but rather bland for our tastes. I did add some cayenne to try and spice it up, but it just seemed that there was something missing. If you have never had Indian food, this may be a good starting point.
     
  3. What a great dish. It was so very tasty and not hot at all, which pleased my mom. I just added some chili pepper flakes to mine. I used skinless boneless chicken filets and it was still very good, meat was juicey and tender. Will make again. Thanks for sharing. I used Lumberg Organic rice, cause that's what I had on hand.
     
  4. This was really good. I kept the recipe as is and it was delicious. I now have so many ideas of what else to do with this chicken, ie. wraps, salads ect. Thanks Madam.
     
  5. Holy Moly this was good!!! It's so very authentic tasting and SO easy to make. It reheats well and is just entirely enjoyable. I halved it, which was simple to do, and I used fat free yogurt, but found it to work perfectly. We'll make this again and again and again.
