Chicken Yakhni
Chicken Yakhni is a slow-simmered broth rich with whole spices like black cardamom and cinnamon, infused with garlic, ginger, and garam masala alongside tender chicken pieces. This clear, aromatic soup combines the warmth of traditional spices with a subtle depth from the addition of cumin and freshly cooked onions, resulting in a comforting and nuanced chicken broth suitable for sipping or serving with rice.
