This recipe comes from Helen Saberi’s book – The Afghan Food & Cookery. Pilaf or pilau is a classic Afghan dish. The use of yogurt is also classic and it makes a delicious sauce. Ground red pepper is commonly found in North African & some Asian dishes, if you cannot find it use hot paprika or a mix of regular paprika with a little cayenne added.
This is a recipe that is in the BBQ Bible by Steven Raichlen that he says “despite the name, this recipe comes from India, not Afghanistan. It’s the specialty of New Delhi’s famous Karim restaurant.” Note: Make sure to allow 4-6 hours to strain yogurt and 4-6 hours to marinade the chicken.
I have played with many versions of this roast chicken. This is so far the perfect blend. An aromatic twist on a classic roast chicken recipe. Perfect accompanied with cous cous made with a chicken stock and a dash of yummy Harissa or your usual roast potatoes and veg.
Rechta (pronunced rish-ta) is a dish comprising of flat noodles and a chicken sauce (Marga bil djedj). Many people buy rechta noodles from the market already made – as many women add to their income by selling them. Rechta noodles keep very well in the freezer. You’ll need a pasta machine for this recipe…
