Chicken Kalimirch
Kalimirch chicken is a flavorful and aromatic Indian dish that is usually prepared with lots of oil, cream, and cashews. However, this recipe is a healthier version of the classic dish that is low in fat and calories. It's gluten-free and contains less oil, no cream, and no cashews, making it suitable for those with nut and dairy allergies. The use of black pepper (kalimirch) gives this dish a unique flavor and aroma, while the use of yogurt adds a creamy texture without the need for cream.
