meal

Chef Akhtar puts his own modern spin on traditional Indian cooking. Roasted chicken thighs are paired with a rich creamy masala sauce and Jasmine rice. What separates this dish from the rest (and puts it several notches above your average takeout) is the side of deeply savory, roasted chickpea daal made with Indian spices, cilantro, and fresh lime juice.
