ABOUT THIS RECIPE

"A mild Indian dish with lots of flavor, the original recipe from Madhur
Jaffrey calls for chicken parts, if you use those buy a bit more chicken and
adjust the cooking time. Found this recipe about 20 years ago and it has
become one of our favorites."

3.Return the chicken to the pan, with the accumulated juices, add the water and the lemon juice.
4.Stir, bring to the boil, and then cover and simmer on a low heat for 15 minutes, depending what
chicken meat is used.

some higher heat.
