Chandi Kaliyan

The title of the dish means “buds of silver,” and in this dish the chicken is cooked in a mild marinade until it is very tender, similar to the softness of a flower bud. Served on a bed of rice with a blanket of edible silver foil, this is a grand presentation that always impresses. It sells like hotcakes at our Yellow Chilli restaurants.

Most Indian grocers sell silver foil. You can also find it online.
