Lasooni Murgh (Garlic Flavored Spicy Chicken) Recipe
Lasooni murgh brings the bold flavors of Mumbai street food to your kitchen with this intensely garlic-flavored spicy chicken curry. This traditional dish recommended by Mumbai locals features an incredibly creamy and flavorful sauce that's rich with garlic and aromatic spices. The generous use of garlic creates a distinctive taste that sets this curry apart from other Indian chicken dishes. The creamy texture balances the intense spice heat, making it both satisfying and memorable. This authentic recipe captures the essence of Mumbai's vibrant food culture in every delicious bite.
This traditional Indian dish was suggested to me by my friend from Mumbai. It is creamy and full of flavor and should be served over some kind of carb (rice, potatoes, naan) to absorb and dissimulate the spice. It can be easily done in a vegetarian version by substituting the chicken with potatoes, broccoli, spinach and/or paneer. I garnish it with cilantro leaves and grated cheese.

Ingredients
1 (8 ounce) container plain yogurt
1 clove garlic, mashed into a paste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons garam masala
2 teaspoons white pepper
5 saffron threads
salt to taste
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken, cut in 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon cumin seed
¼ cup heavy cream
Directions
Stir together the yogurt, garlic paste, lemon juice, garam masala, white pepper, and saffron; season to taste with salt. Toss the chicken in the yogurt and marinate in the refrigerator for 10 to 12 hours.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Toss in the cumin seeds and allow to cook until fragrant, 20 to 30 seconds. Add the chicken and brown in the oil. Discard any remaining marinade. Turn heat to medium-low, cover, and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Pour in the cream and heat through. Serve immediately.
