Chicken Changezi
The story begins 15 years back, I visited a restaurant with some friends and a friend of mine just jumped out of his chair seeing the menu telling us they have Chicken Changezi on the menu. He started going gaga about this dish from Delhi and all that, Changezi … hmmm… I thought it would be some Mongolian dish customized and indianized in some manner as the name of the dish was after Genghis Khan , yes he is referred to as or rather pronounced as Changez in the Indian subcontinent. But to my surprise it was completely opposite, it closely resembled Butter Chicken but was not the same, I asked my friend what’s different about it and he said not everyone does it the right way but you got to cook one item after the other to complete the dish.
It tasted absolutely fantastic and hence this is my version of the dish, it is a great dish to cook for a feast. I have taken the easy route and simplified it and so should you if you want to cook this dish, the masala’s prepared separately and hence you can cook it quickly if you can work in parallel.
So please try the recipe and let me know if you like it in the comments below. Do follow us in Instagram and Facebook and subscribe to my YouTube channel. I have been posting more on YouTube then on the blog these last few days .
