Rustic Chicken

It is one of the simplest chicken recipes you will come across. Made with few ingredients, mostly house spices that are enough to bring out a rich flavour. It is rustic for precisely that reason and because it can be cooked in an earthen pot and on a bonfire (if you live outdoors). This rustic chicken recipe is simply no frills.

I’m Jagrati and my family has been in the heritage hospitality business for the past 35 years. Born and bred in a Rajput home converted into a heritage hotel, an affinity with tradition and culinary culture was very organic. Having said that, my interest in cooking and baking is a recent discovery. Currently, I am a food experimenter – constantly trying various recipes to see how I can simplify them. My most favourite is traditional recipes that take me back to the stories of how and why they were made a certain way. Cooking for me is like relaxation – I enjoy the pace and patience it needs and above all that is the joy of eating.
