Notes

Make sure you blend the curd with water till creamy. Also bring it to a full boil before adding it into the chicken. Else it may separate.
Dried mint adds nice aroma and unique flavour to the dish.
Bone in chicken is recommended, because it adds flavour to the dish also the chicken stays juicy and moist.
You can serve chicken yakhni with any bread of your choice.
