This is an ancient recipe! The word "zaafrani" means "Saffron" or what we call "Kesar" in Hindi. In my home, we use this in plenty during the winter/cooler months. The word "murg" is the Hindi equivalent for "Chicken". This delicious recipe was telecast at 11:30am Oman time on this Sunday on Mirch Masala, Star Plus. It was cooked by a chef in Jaipur who has been cooking since he was a young boy. Now, he's an old man with a long white moustache, a pot belly and a beaming smile! This chicken looked so yummy while he was cooking it in his pot on TV, I can't wait to try it, I will be doing that very soon! Join me, will you? :)
