For those who cannot find Shatkara in your local shop then please go to a bengali grocery shop, you will definitely be able to find it there.
TIP for buying a shatkara: when you pick one up in your hand, it will look big but it should feel quite light. That is a sign of a quality shatkara. OR you can buy it frozen.
Could you please let me know how it went and your opinion of this.
thank you,

Hi Razor i have tried this recipe and loved it so did 5 of my friends, will definately be doing it again.
Shatkora is quite easy for me to get hold of as having an array of different asian superstores and little corner shops by where i live but if you cant get hold of it try lemon juice for each 1/4 of shatkora used.
Have also tried this recipe http://www.cook4one.co.uk/indian/chickenshatkora.html (http://www.cook4one.co.uk/indian/chickenshatkora.html)
