Last night I decided I wanted to eat one of my all time favourites that my mom usually makes....chicken kalya! It is a vibrant mauritian dish with tantalising spices that burst in your mouth! The chicken kalya tastes like a mild indian dish so if you are not into spicy food then this dish is perfect! It has an array of many different aromatic spices and also a yoghurt is used to marinate it so that when the chicken cook's it is tender and juicy! My naani ( grandmother) dosent use any recipes! No no no! She cooks from memory! So yesterday she showed me exactly how to cook the perfect chicken kalya which also can changed to a mutton kalya If preferred. The chicken kalya was a complete success! I got a thumbs up from the entire family!
