  Chicken Rajpipla is a unique recipe that comes from Rajpipla, a small town on the banks of the Narmada river in Gujarat. Very close to the Statue of Unity. Rajpipla was a 13 Gun Salute princely state from the 14th century to when it was integrated with the Indian republic in 1948. In the modern era, Rajpipla came into focus with the ascension of Maharaja Vijaysinhji ChhatraSinhji Sahib to the throne in 1915. He was a charming and suave ruler, also known for his great administration. He was a fond equestrian and well known for his love for horses, food, and the good life. His horses won the Indian Derby, the Irish Derby, and the Belgian Grand Prix. But his shining moment was winning the prestigious Epsom Derby in England in 1934 with his horse Windsor Lad. Maharaja Vijaysinhji was also fond of cooking and his most popular recipe was the Chicken Rajpipla. I’d first come across this recipe when I was interacting with Nilufer Dhondy, a fabulous cook who specialises in Parsi food. Though
