Chicken Kadai
From uk2nyc 16 years ago
- 25 minutes to make
- Serves 4
This is a great recipe of mine to eat with chappatis or preferably naan or roti. Kadai, is an Indian cooking pot that looks like a wok, with 2 handles on the side. Kadai dishes have Afghan and persian origins and are unique due to the cooking process in a heavy cast iron or copper pot. Read more The key to making a Kadai is also in the oil or ghee. You should use a good amount of oil/butter or ghee as you can always remove it after cooking See less
