In the world of Bengali culinary arts, Shahi Chicken Badami holds a special place. Not merely a dish but a cultural treasure, it encapsulates the rich, royal heritage of Bengal’s vibrant history. At The Cinnamon Tree, we are committed to bringing this regal experience to your plate.
A Symphony of Ingredients
What sets Shahi Chicken Badami apart is its opulent array of ingredients. Tender chunks of chicken are cooked in a rich, velvety gravy that gets its unique flavor and texture from almonds, or “badam,” hence the name Badami. The addition of fruit and aromatic spices like cardamom, cloves, and saffron imparts a subtle complexity that defines this luxurious dish.
Creaminess Galore
Shahi Chicken Badami isn’t just about flavors; it’s about the sensory experience of each bite. The gravy’s creamy consistency, derived from the almond paste and the judicious use of cream, creates a mouthfeel that’s nothing short of royal. Every spoonful promises a heavenly blend of richness and warmth.
Wine Pairing: Chenin Blanc from Paarl, South Africa
While Shahi Chicken Badami is a royal feast on its own, it finds a perfect companion in a glass of Chenin Blanc from Paarl, South Africa. This wine is renowned for its bright acidity and apple notes, providing a refreshing balance to the creamy, rich flavors of the dish. When paired together, they create a culinary experience that is as sophisticated as it is satisfying.

The meticulous preparation, the layering of flavors, and the final presentation all contribute to an experience that feels like a celebration.
