Bodo Style Chicken with Sesame seeds

Dauu Sibing is a terrific chicken with sesame seeds paste recipe and like most tribes across North East India, the Bodo tribe also has this traditional dish. There are slight variations in the recipes amongst he tribes due to the availability of ingredients in their locality and even till date, we follow the same rule. The recipe is easy, which is prepared with minimal condiments and probably the best dish to try out if you have not yet cooked sesame seeds before. The chicken is superlatively tender and juicy, which has soaked the early flavours from the sesame seeds. The gravy is comforting, savory and the aroma makes the dish is irresistibly good that will truly satisfy your craving for comfort food.
