I heard first time about Kadaknath in Bhopal, IHM few years back. Requested if possible to get and lets cook. That time it was only possible with the permission from the Tribal authority. Two Kadaknath were managed next day. I cooked them Qorma style on low heat. It took time but worth all efforts. Delicious, distinctive taste, does not to many spices. Right seasoning with little sourness added at the end. Best is braising and may be grilled with long marination with little papaya paste. Boneless kababs must be grilled on low moderate heat in two stages. Kofta can be prepared by pounding the meat.
To save the breed from extinction, thanks to Madhya Pradesh government started a Kadaknath poultry breeding program involving 500 BPL families, who were to receive financial support and assistance. I heard there is Kadaknath farming started near Chandigarh towards Hoshiarpur. Find out Kadaknath from authorise farms and enjoy cooking and eating this unique Chicken
