Ingredients

    • 8 chicken thighs
    • 1/2 cup yogurt
    • 2 tsp ajwain seeds
    • 1 tablespoon
    • ginger-garlic paste
    • 1/2 tablespoon crushed red chilies
    • 1/2 cup cream
    • salt to taste
    • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro

Instructions

Marinate chicken pieces with yogurt, ajwain seeds, ginger garlic paste, red chilies and salt for about 30 minutes (or more).

Heat oil in a heavy pan.  Remove the chicken from the marinade and reserve the marinade for later.  Add the chicken to the oil and cook until brown on both sides.  Turn as needed to brown evenly.

Lower the heat and add the reserved marinade. Add ½ cup of water, cover and cook on low heat until the chicken is tender.  Add the cream and chopped cilantro.  Continue to simmer until chicken is cooked and well coated. Serve hot with rice.

  • Chicken With Ajwain
    4.00 5
    I tried this recipe because I wanted to try the ajwain spice. The recipe is very simple and flavorful. I served it with quinoa and fresh steamed spinach. I used organic boneless, skinless chicken thighs. I left the cilantro off for my husband who pretty much hates cilantro but I think the flavor was a nice add.
