Here’s a wee recipe to kick off 2012. Very straightforward, and extremely delicious. If you can’t find panch phoron<\/a>, use a pinch of any or all of: fenugreek seeds, nigella seeds, cumin seed, fennel seed, celery seed. Incidentally, panch is Hindi for ‘five’, which is where we get the drink ‘punch’, because it contains five ingredients – booze, sugar, water, spices, lemon. Thanks, Etymologicon<\/a>.<\/p>\n
– Rest the chicken for five minutes before serving with the salad and rice or naan.<\/p>\n
* The lemon juice will toughen the meat, the salt dry it out a little.<\/p>\n
