Hey all,
I am back with another Indian classic and this time it’s a meat dish (aye aye chicken!). What makes this a #Classic you ask?
Its oh-so-popular.
Its delicious.
Its easy breezy.
Its got endless variants all across the nation.
Just like any other Indian classic recipe. Your mother makes it in a way, chef Sanjeev kapoor has a way, your neighbour’s aunt makes it in a way and the recipe book you love has a fun variation!
The one that I have for you is probably the easiest, fastest and has no herbs. Yes, you read me right. No herb at all. So perfect recipe for those days when you dont have your kitchen drawers or fridge piled up. Grocery shopping can hurt!
(But who minds Retail Therapy!)

Piece of Cerebrum 
I thought of you today, Roy! I was in Trader Joe’s and saw a large container of ghee on display. In the past I have only seen it at farmer’s markets or more high end/specialty grocery stores. Your recipes are getting me to use it more, and now its even easier (and cheaper) to buy around me 🙂
