Chicken Lababdar with Samosas and Tamarind Chutney
‘Punjab’ translates as ‘land of the five rivers’ and it’s these rivers that produce lush, fertile lands perfect for farming wheat, dairy, vegetables and rice that the area is famed for. This month’s indulgent chicken curry makes the most of the dairy from the region, using both yogurt in the chicken marinade and cream to make the rich, tomatoey sauce. It’s served with gobi matar (a simple cauliflower and pea dish) and some fantastic homemade samosas made with pastry flavoured with cumin and ajowan seeds. A tangy tamarind and chilli chutney and a raita flavoured with bell pepper and cumin complete the meal.
