KASHMIRI CHICKEN



Kashmiri Chicken image

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.
