Chilli Chicken

-
Chilli Chiken is one of my favorite chinese dishes. We enjoy the indo-chinese way better than real chinese.
So here is how I approach the yummy dish.

Ingredients: 
Bonless chicken :1/4 inch pieces (1/2 pound)
Onion: 2 large cut into large chunks and peeled
Garlic: 3-4 (Crushed)
Green Pepper: 1 large cut into chunks
Carrot: 2 medium or 1 large cut into thin long slices
Green chilli: 2-3 slit
Egg: 1 whole
Cornflour: 1/2 tsp
Red chilli Powder: 1 tsp
Tomato Sauce: 1/4 cup
Chilli Sauce: 2 tsp
Soya Sauce: 1/ tsp
Salt: as per taste
Oil : 2 tsp
Spring Onion: 2 tsp finely chopped for garnish.

Procedure:

Mix the egg, 1tsp of salt, cornflour, red chill powder, crushed garlic. 
Marinate the chicken in the above mix for 30 mins.
In a pan heat 1 tsp of oil and fry the chicken pieces few at a time till they are cooked through, tender and slightly brown all around.
In the same pan add rest of the oil and add the peeled chunks of onion, and cook it with a pinch of salt.
Cook the onion for 2-3 mins and add rest of the vegetables.
Add salt less than you would generally add as the chicken has salt in the marinade and we would be adding sauces later.
Cook till the vegetables are cooked but still crunchy.
Add the chicken pieces , tomato sauce, chilli sauce and soya sauce and mix well.
Cook for another 4-5 mins till all the flavors are nicely incorporated.
Garnish with spring onion and serve with fried rice or just eat as an appetizer.


Enjoy this yummy appetizer with your friends and family.

Till then happy blogging

Chicken Biryani in Rice cooker

-
Image
I bought a new rice cooker few days back and since then haven't stopped experimenting on it. I used to think its just for cooking rice or steaming meat and veggies. I went through the whole recipe book that came along with it but ended with nothing. It has great recipes but they are not exactly what we prefer to eat. So I did a little research on my own. I have always made biryani the same way layering the half cooked chicken and half cooked rice and cook it over the heater in a cover pot. But most of the time I ended up with a small of portion of the masala, chicken and rice burning .So would go to a restaurant and eat briyani rather than going through all the trouble. After buying the rice cooker I decided to give chicken biryani one more shot in the rice cooker. I thought what the heck it can't be any worst :) And I am glad that I tried. It turned out amazing. It had every thing one looks for in a good biryani, aroma, flavor and juicy chicken. So here we go... Ingredients: C

Green Papaya Curry

The unripe green papaya can be eaten cooked, usually in curries, salads, and stews. Green papaya is used in Southeast Asian cooking, both raw and cooked.  Papaya fruit is a rich source of nutrients such as provitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C, B vitamins, lycopene, dietary minerals and dietary fibre.  Back at my mom's place we had a big garden where she used to grow all types of vegetables, Papaya, Banana, Tomato, green chillies and the list go on and on. If you have ever grown a papaya you know its like never ending fruits and there is always so much you can eat. Mostly my Mom would pick them before they are ripe and use them in santula or dalma. Here I am sharing the santula recipe that uses green papaya. Ingredients: Papaya: 1 medium cut in small cubes Potato: 1 small cut into cubes. Cumin seeds: 1tsp Green Chilli: 1-2 cut length wise. Tomato: 1 small cut into cubes. Turmeric Powder: 1 tsp Roasted cumin and red cilli Powder: 1 tsp (Look for the recipe in t
