KASHMIRI YAKHNI RECIPE
Kashmiri Yakhni is a traditional dish from the Kashmiri cuisine of India. It is a flavorful and aromatic yogurt-based gravy that is usually made with mutton, but can also be made with chicken.
To make Kashmiri Yakhni, first, marinate the meat with yogurt, turmeric, and salt for at least 30 minutes. Then, in a pan, heat oil or ghee and add whole spices like cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and bay leaves. Add sliced onions and fry until golden brown.
Next, add the marinated meat and fry until browned. Pour in enough water to cover the meat and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for around 45 minutes, until the meat is tender.
While the meat is cooking, grind together fennel seeds, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and ginger. Once the meat is tender, add this spice mixture to the pan and stir well. Cook for another 10-15 minutes until the gravy thickens.
Finally, garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with steamed rice or naan bread.
