"This is a fragrant Baghdadi Indian dish, one of our early cooking club favourites from the kitchen of Molly Moses. It is wonderful with roast turmeric potatoes or steamed basmati rice. The chitarnee can be made well ahead of serving and is equally delicious using chicken thigh pieces."

Monday Morning Cooking club is made up of six woman who have been cooking together every Monday morning since 2006. Their directive was to put together a cookbook to raise money for charity. It was then their mission to take it one step further, and to actually try to find the best recipes from the best cooks in Sydney's Jewish Community.
