Have you made this Kacha Mitha Aam and Morich Murgh Tengri recipe at home?

Follow masterchef Subhojit Sen’s delicious journey, as he turns a classic Indian dish to a modern culinary delight

Decades ago, around 2010, Indian and Chinese cuisine dominated restaurant menus, with dishes like Reshmi Tikka and Tandoori Chicken becoming household favourites. These classics, known for their robust flavours and aromatic spices, were the go-to choices for many, including masterchef Subhojit Sen.

Inspired by these traditional dishes, the chef has taken a culinary trip down memory lane with a contemporary twist. When his mother requested Pora Chicken, which translates to roasted chicken, he created a unique and tantalising dish from scratch. The result was a smoked whole chicken tengri (leg piece) paired with the delightful sweetness and tanginess of mango, known as Kacha Mitha Aam.

This dish, called Morich Murgh Tengri, is a perfect choice for those looking to explore new culinary horizons. The marinating process is crucial to infusing the chicken with rich, complex flavours.

Masterchef Subhojit Sen encourages everyone to try this recipe at home and share their experience. The smoky, tangy and sweet flavours are sure to become a new favourite in many households, just as it has in his.
