Aamdia Pollo is our mildest, most enveloping curry: chicken first cooked in the tandoor for that light smoky note, then simmered in a rich sauce of flaked almonds, coconut and fresh cream. The result is a silky, almost pearlescent texture with subtly sweet, woody notes reminiscent of the great Mughal courts. A thoroughly rounded dish, perfect for palates that favour indulgence over the heat of chilli.
A dish with a story
Almond and coconut milk sauces have their roots in Mughal court cuisine, where dried fruits and nuts symbolised refinement and abundance.
This land-and-sea pairing of northern almonds and southern coconut is more characteristic of the fusion cuisines developed by the great Indo-British dining rooms.
Today, this kind of creamy nut sauce has become a classic on “Chef’s Specials” menus at the best Indian restaurants across Europe.
The precise origins of this house recipe remain our chef’s closely guarded secret: we’ll give you the spirit of it, not the method.
