Dhansak and Masalas English Translations Masala Recipes Vividh Vani by Meherbai Jamshedji Wadia

Chicken Dhansak recipe from the famous Vividh Vani cookbook

updated on

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”
