Meh... this recipe has potential, but it turned out a very very mild dish. Onions are sauteed in ghee, cardamom and star anise, gently crushed, is added. garlic, etc, then chunks of chicken breast, broth, and rice.
I deviated by using brown rice in place of basmati, and used raisins instead of apricots.
But even with additional salt, it didn't have any of the flavor notes that whisper "india" to me. And I have a ton of leftovers (I doubled the recipe).
I think I will add some ginger next time, and maybe some red pepper flakes to wake this dish up!
On the plus side, the chicken was tender, it was easy, and only dirtied up one pot and a serving bowl.
