I have always been fascinated by both South Asian and Thai cuisine, especially as it pertains to cooking chicken and preparing delicious soups. I have cooked Thai tom ka gai (chicken coconut soup) many times before but I've never attempted to prepare Yakhni before. Yakhni is a South Asian dish featuring chicken pieces tenderly cooked with cardamon, cinnamon, yogurt and other zingy condiments. So, one day, I thought of coming up with a recipe that combines the best of both worlds, so to speak. I could not be more pleased with this fusion of a dish. If you like Thai and South Asian cuisine, I have no doubt you will like this concoction!
