I have a yakhni recipe on my blog, but I thought for our fast paced life, this quick recipe by my mil, will be perfect for a quick dinner party. She has tons of quick recipes. Today I am going to put a couple.
So here it goes:
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lb meat pieces (if you get the “raan” piece of lamb or goat, its best; “raan” means the thigh/leg portion of the animal)
salt, ginger powder, garlic paste (while boiling the pieces)
1 cup beaten yogurt (dahi); full fat is best, but low fat will work too
spices: 4 cracked cardamoms (elaichi), 1 inch cinnamon (daalchini) stick broken into few pieces, 1/2 tsp garam masala, 1/2 tsp corriander powder (dhania), 1/2 tsp fennel powder (saunf)
handful of fresh (or dried will work too) mint leaves (pudina)
1 fried onion; ground preferably
few pinches of roasted cumin seeds, for garnishing
Method:
Boil the meat pieces with salt, ginger, garlic till tender in little water. When its a little cold, add the beaten yogurt to this. Mix well. Add the spices to this. Get it to a boil. Add the fresh mint leaves and the fried onion paste. Boil, taste for salt, add if required and its done.
Finally, when its done, rub the cumin seeds between the palm of your hands, and add it to the yakhni.
Note: Yakhni is one of the most popular dishes from Kashmir, every Kashmiri household prepares it for their guests, and its a big part in the weddings.
