Pheww writing  down a recipe to share after a really long time feels unreal :).
But had to get back to this at some point rt. What better time than now.

So here is a very easy chicken recipe that even your not so awesome, never been in kitchen family member can also make and enjoy. Its best served as an appetizer and will be enjoyed by all.

Ingredients for Marination:

  1. 10-12 chicken wings 
  2. 2 tbsp ginger garlic paste
  3. 1 tsp turmeric
  4. 1 tbsp red chili powder ( adjust to your taste)
  5. 1 tbsp Kashmiri chilli powered ( this is mostly for the beautiful red color)
  6. 2 tbsp roaster cumin powder
  7. 1tbsp garam masala powder 
  8. 2 tbsp mustard oil
  9. Salt to taste
Ingredients for gravy:
  1. 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  2. 2 tbsp mustard oil
  3. 1 small tomato chopped 
  4. 2 Green chili chopped ( optional and adjust to taste)
  5. few spring for coriander 
Steps:
  1. In a mixing bowl mix all the ingredients for the marination.
  2. Let the chicken  marinate for at least 2 hrs, the longer it marinate the more flavors.
  3. In a heavy bottom kadhai ( I prefer using cast iron pans, but its your choice ) heat 2 tbsp mustard oil.
  4. Once you see it smoking a little add the sliced onions and sauté till they are slightly brown.
  5. To this add the marinated chicken, stir and cook on medium heat till you see the water from the chicken is reduced to almost half.
  6. To this add the chopped tomatoes and so medium flame cover and  cook ( stirring intermittently)  till the chicken is cooked through. 
  7. once the chicken is almost done add the green chillies and cook it without the lid for another 5 mins or so, or till the gravy is all dried up.
  8. Turn off the heat garnish with coriander leaves and serve it hot.
Tips:
  1. Mustard oil gives it that extra kick, but if its too strong for you, you can use other cooking oil of your choice.
  2. It tastes best when eat hot and as an appetizer.
I hope you try and enjoy this recipe. Till then happy blogging.

Chicken Biryani in Rice cooker

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

As a kid one thing that made me go gaga was aloo bharta with rice. My Grandma makes the best aloo bharta ever. Every year we would go to our village for the summers and among all the running around, swings and swims in the family pond one thing that I miss the most is my grandma's aloo bharta. Its like the ultimate comfort food.  There is actually not much to the recipe but still it just makes me feel loved and cared. Ingredients: Potatoes: 2 large boiled with the skin Green chillies: 2-3 chopped finely Dry Red Chillies: 2 chopped Onion:1 large chopped Mustard Seeds: 1/2 tsp oil: 1 tea spoon Salt to taste Procedure: Peel the skin of the potatoes and mash well with no lumps. Take the oil in a pan and heat well.traditionally mustard oil is used but Tanmaya does not like the taste of it so I use normal vegetable oil. You can always use mustard oil, it will for sure enhance the taste. Add the mustard seeds and red chillies, as the mustard seeds stop splutt
