      Title: Chicken In Yogurt ("Murghi Dehin")
 Categories: Chicken, Indian
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
  1 1/2 kg Roasting chicken, skinned,
           - and cut up into serving
           - pieces
      5 tb Parsley or coriander
           - leaves; chopped

MMMMM--------------------------MARINADE-------------------------------
     35 cl Natural yogurt
      1 lg Sweet red pepper; grated or
           - pounded
      1 ts Paprika
      1    Ginger root piece (5 cm);
           - grated
      3    Green chilies; crushed
     16 cl Garlic; crushed
      1 ts Salt
 
  Prick the chicken pieces all over with a sharp fork. Beat the yogurt
  and make a marinade with the sweet pepper, paprika, ginger root,
  chilies, garlic, and salt. The garlic is not excessive; yogurt takes
  care of its pungency. Marinate the chicken in a cold place or
  refrigerator for 10 to 12 hours, turning the pieces from time to time.
  
  Heat a heavy saucepan until the metal is very hot. Almost "throw" in
  the chicken and marinade so that it makes a light splash, producing
  steam. (Please be very careful here) Stir in the parsley or coriander
  leaves, cover immediately. Cook on high heat for about 5 minutes,
  then on medium heat until the yogurt is all dry except for about two
  table spoons or so at the bottom. Do not let this get brown. Stir the
  chicken to coat it evenly. Serve hot with all the scrapings from the
  pan.
