Kashmiri Chicken

Country chicken cooked in the classic Kashmiri style — seared in mustard oil, then braised in a gravy built from Kashmiri red chilli, fennel seeds, dry ginger, and yoghurt, without the heavy onion-garlic paste of other North Indian chicken curries. The Kashmiri red chilli gives an intense ruby colour while keeping the heat moderate; the fennel and dry ginger give the dish its unmistakable Kashmiri identity.
