Ingredients: 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 12 oz total); ¾ cup ghee; 4 cardamom pods, lightly crushed; 2 star anise; ½ tsp Kashmiri chili powder; ¼ tsp turmeric; 2 bay leaves; 4 cloves garlic, smashed; 1-inch piece ginger, sliced; 1 tsp coriander seeds; fine sea salt and cracked pepper; For the cauliflower purée: 1 lb cauliflower florets; ¼ cup heavy cream; 2 tbsp ghee; ½ tsp white miso paste; fine sea salt; For serving: 2 tbsp panko breadcrumbs; 1 tbsp ghee; 8 fresh sage leaves; fleur de sel

Bone-in chicken thighs gently poached in ghee infused with cardamom, star anise, and Kashmiri chili until the meat pulls from the bone and dissolves on the tongue. The skin is crisped in a hot pan at the finish, shattering between your teeth. Served over silken cauliflower purée and scattered with fried sage and golden breadcrumbs for sophisticated textural contrast.
