Lasooni Murgh (Garlic Flavored Spicy Chicken)

recipe-img

Description

This traditional Indian dish was suggested to me by my friend from Mumbai. It is creamy and full of flavor and should be served over some kind of carb (rice, potatoes, naan) to absorb and dissimulate the spice. It can be easily done in a vegetarian version by substituting the chicken with potatoes, broccoli, spinach and/or paneer. I garnish it with cilantro leaves and grated cheese.

Ingredient:

  • 1 (8 ounce) container plain yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, mashed into a paste
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garam masala
  • 2 teaspoons white pepper
  • 5 saffron threads
  • salt to taste
  • 1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken, cut in 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seed
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
