Ingredients

  • Cubed 6 tb Butter, ghee or vegetable oil
  • 1 ts Saffron ground or yellow food coloring

Directions

1

Heat the gee and mix the saffron powder or coloring with milk.

2

Heat the oil and quickly 'seal' the chicken cubes by turning frequently for 2 minutes, then add the yellow milk and stir-fri for 2 minutes.

3

Add the yoghurt, cream and ground almonds and when it starts to simmer turn the heat down and stir-fry for 10 minutes more to ensure it does not stick, adding milk or water as necessary.

5

Place saffron strands in a little warm water and extract as much color as you can by gently mashing with a teaspoon.

6

Check that the chicken is cooked right through by cutting a large piece across. Simmer on if required. Just prior to serving add the saffron and salt to taste.

7

Garnish with the coriander and almonds, and serve immediatley.
