Sometimes you need a change in flavour. Indian chicken curries tend to favour spicy or red gravies. One day I wanted to try something different but not international. A dish that is multi faceted and can be eaten as a started by itself or with rice or roti. I turned to my friend Alifya who is an amazing chef. She runs a business called Taheri Delights and was generous enough to share her recipe for this chicken with me. I did modify it a bit but the essence of the dish is hers.
