Chicken Bahar

CHICKEN BAHAR

Mini-trivia: Sorry, no mini-trivia on this one, except that it is very easy to cook and delicious. I have not had this dish other than at home (at least not done in this way). Lot of Indian restuarants have a dish called 'murg bahar', but it is the same as all the other dishes (and usually has yogurt in it).

The use of tomato gives it a sharper taste than normal.
