Chicken Dhansak recipe from the famous Vividh Vani cookbook

By Rita Jamshed Kapadia 3 comments

Myth busted about some folks saying chicken dhansak is not traditional.

Chicken Dhansak is one of the OLDEST dishes ! The Vividh Vani cookbook from circa 1800 AD has this recipe!

NOTE this recipe has CHICKEN or MUTTON used. See the words circled below, they say “Marghi” which means “chicken”
