hello! i just discovered this site on a quest to replicate the chicken dhakeshwari my old local indian sold - i moved away a few months ago and can't stop thinking about it, and my new local doesn't sell it ???? (if anyone is in the area, the dhakeshwari was from cinnamon in canterbury, and its one of the best things i have ever eaten. new local is rajdoot in guildford, and they do a phenomenal tikka masala that almost makes up for it.)

has anyone tried making dhakeshwari before? the mango curry described in this thread led me here and it seems to be similar: https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=12501.0.

cinnamon describe it as "Cooked with herbs and spices and garnished with mango pulp, ground almond and ghee"

another restaurant has: "Tender pieces of chicken marianted in herbs and spices, cooked with sliced mangos, ground almond, puree ghee very creamy"

google searching says that 'dhakeshwari' is the name of a temple in dhaka, bangladesh, so i think i'm looking for a bangladeshi recipe! knowing the marinade and how the curry is constructed will probably go a long way to recreating it at home. i'm close to calling the restaurant and begging them for the recipe, so it would be nice to avoid that indignity
