Kliks' Indian Chicken: Serves 4


This seems quite an extravagant recipe but I can assure you that it tastes sublime.

3lbs chicken thigh meat
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground ginger,
1/2 cup of plain yoghurt
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup soured cream
4 tbsp butter
6 cloves
2 tbsp ground almonds
6 cardamom pods
1 inch of cinnamon stick
1/4 tsp crushed saffron
1 bay leaf

I put freshly gound black pepper in but I've been told to stop putting it in everything I cook, by the powers that be.(Mrs. Klik)

Mix yoghurt, ginger and salt together then rub into chicken.
Marinate overnight in fridge.

Bake in 190 C oven (gas mark 5) for 50 minutes, save any liquid.

In saucepan, melt butter and fry cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and bay leaf for 1 minute.
Add soured cream and chicken liquid and mix.
Add crushed saffron and whipping cream then mix.
Cover and simmer gently for 5 - 6 minutes.
