SIMPLY SIMPLE CHICKEN ROAST

Sorry no time for introductory speech... Jumping straight into the recipe..
Ingredients:
  • chicken- 1 medium sized
  • onion- 3 sliced thinly
  • tomato- 2 medium sized
  • ginger garlic paste- 2 tsp
  • chilly- 2
  • chilli powder- 3 tsp
  • coriander powder- 1 tsp
  • turmeric powder- 1/4 tsp
  • garam masala powder- 3/4 tsp
  • salt- to taste
  • coconut oil- 4 tbsp.
  • curry leaves- a stem
  • coriander leaves- 1/4 cup
Preparation:
Boil chicken pieces with onion, tomato, chillies, ginger-garlic paste, chilly powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder and salt along with some water, until the chicken pieces are half cooked. Cook keeping the lid of the vessel closed. Separate the chicken pieces from the gravy.
heat oil in a wok and fry the chicken pieces. Take off the chicken pieces from wok. To the same oil, add curry leaves and the chicken gravy and cook on high flame till the water dries off. Stir constantly so that it does not get burnt.
Once the gravy loses all its water content and becomes like a fry add the chicken pieces and mix well with the fried ingredients. Add the garam masala powder and coriander leaves and serve hot.
Note: Cook the gravy very well so that all the flavors mix well and water dries out to make it like a fry.

Thinking about  blessed holy month of Ramadan already fills me with chills when people are so much around, mosques crowded, streets busy, everything seems so special. Especially being in an Islamic country like UAE, I enjoy the benefit of husband returning from work early, due to short working hours for all companies and then roads during night time is so lit up and busy, anybody can roam around safely no matter even if you are alone. Its definitely a month of devotion and religious commitment, which is only why you can still fast in full spirit no matter how long the fasting hours are and that too when summer is at its peak. Its a month when Quran was sent to our Messenger Muhammad S.A. and we give so much importance in spending our time in recitation of Quran and that is mostly how I spend my time of worship or Ibaadah apart from obligatory prayers during Ramadan. Ofcourse apart from religious commitment, we are supposed to cook for the Iftar (fast breaking time) but takin

Kunafa

Kunafa, i have not much words to describe this dessert. So addictively delicious is all i can say. Its a baked Arabic dessert with shredded Kunafa dough and cheese as filling, served warm with rose scented sugar syrup . Whenever I crave for one, I always beg my husband to get one from any of the local Arabic bakeries/restaurants, but it is only a limited portion i can enjoy as the price is too high for a small quantity. And with kids around, my cravings are never put to end. All i can do is sit back and drool over this heaven when my kids gobble it down. My 6 year old pouring that sugar syrup and mehndi on her hands were done by me for Eid This time i decided to give it a try, after drooling over a plethora of images and recipes on internet. Also after having one from one of the Arabic restaurants, and the deliciousness it had (OMG!! It was such a heaven, served straight from the oven, my husband and i couldn't wait it to cool down, we had the entire thing all by ourselv

LAZEEZ MURGH TIKKA MASALA

I have been very lazy in experimenting main course meals lately. In earlier days of marriage I used to try every single way to impress my husband and cook for him. A once experimented dish hardly was repeated especially during dinners and I used to keep experimenting new ones. As kids came into our lives, my schedule gradually got hectic and so the time I spent to cook. Usually these days when I decide chicken for our menu, I cook up regular easy version of chicken curry and do not take the trouble to browse through Internets. After a long while I felt the urge to cook something different and I happened to stumble over this recipe of Sanjeev Kapoor's. I tried it the same day and it turned out to be delicious with all the richness and spice loaded cream based thick gravy. It is perfect to go with rotis and obviously rice was not the perfect combo, as I made rice as I was in short of time to prepare roti before hubby arrived.  I felt the khoya in this recipe added richness t
