Ever wondered how to recreate your favourite Indian restaurant or takeaway pasanda in your ninja speedi. This guide will show you how to get exactly the same fantastic results from scratch at home using only your ninja speedi
Experience culinary sophistication with my pasanda, a dish that takes inspiration from the regal kitchens of north India. The Pasanda, meaning “favourite” in Urdu, embodies richness and indulgence, promising a dining experience fit for royalty.
In this recipe, succulent chicken slices are luxuriously marinated in a velvety mixture of cream, ground almonds and fragrant spices such as cardamom and cinnamon. This exquisite marinade imparts a tender texture and layers of complex flavours, setting the stage for a truly decadent culinary creation.
The crowning glory of my pasanda is its creamy and mildly spiced sauce. The result is a harmonious fusion of nutty richness and gentle spices that will transport your taste buds to a world of opulence.
Serve my pasanda with saffron-infused basmati rice or alongside warm naan bread to fully appreciate the refined flavours. This dish is an ode to the artistry of Mughlai cuisine, offering a glimpse into the culinary treasures enjoyed by the elite of centuries past.
Prepare to be enchanted by the indulgent charm of my pasanda elegance—a dish that captures the essence of royal kitchens and promises a dining experience that is both sumptuous and unforgettable.
