It is said that Kashmir is the Switzerland of India. I am here with a world famous recipe from that valley. It is called 'Yakhni' (I don't know the exact spelling in english. I spelled it as it sounds).
Yakhni is basically made from a combination of spices (aniseed or fennel is one them) and its basic ingredient is yogurt.
Ingredients: 1 cup yougurt; 2 tblspoon aniseed or fennel,; 1 or 2 small pieces cinnamon; 6 pieces of cloves; 6 pieces of small cardamom; ginger past as required.
Method: take the yougurt and bit it well, keep aside. Now take all the spices together, fry it on a thick bottomed pan till red (do not use any oil or anything). Now make powder of them with the help a grinder. Keep aside.
Take a thick bottomed bowl, put some oil. After heating it add the ginger paste. After frying for a while add the powder of those spices and keep stirring. Now add that yogurt, salt and small amount of water and keep it boiling for some time. Now the gravy is ready. You can add either chicken or mutton to this gravy. Bring the flame to a medium level and wait till the mutton or chicken is done.
Your Yakhni is ready. Serve it with boiled Basmati rice or chapatis.
You can take this preparation on the next day to get the better flavour of spices.
