Directions
Chicken in Saffron Cream, This Indian-inspired dish is very easy to prepare, but the rich, complex sauce suggests otherwise Serve it with butter-basted, roasted butternut squash and basamite rice seasoned with peas and butter Rich creamy Fage brand yogurt, originally imported from Greece, is perfect for this dish I acquired this recipe from Wine Enthusiast Magazine , This is an excellent recipe I had two small problems (my part) with not having all ingredients and being too lazy to go out for them I did not have heavy cream, so replaced with sour cream Did not have fresh cilantro, so used dried (soaked in water with saffron)
This recipe is easy to do and flavors are beautifully combined Using fresh ginger and grating the nutmeg does make a difference, so do recommend it as compared to using dried versions
used Basmati rice to go with it (debated a veggie, but husband said not) Excellent recipe Sondra!
