Chicken Kadai - 1

Recently I have been trying my luck with chicken dishes as well. When I was preparing this one, I thought it might not come well. But the end result was good. Our guest for that day, who was a hard-core non-vegetarian, liked it very much.

Ingredients: Chicken ½ kg Onion 1 Coriander leaves 3-4 strands Garam masala 1 tea spn Red chilli powder 1 tea spn Coriander powder ½ tea spn Jeera powder ½ tea spn Turmeric powder a pinch Ginger-garlic paste 1 tea spn Oil/ghee 1 tbl spn Salt

Method: Heat ghee/oil and fry finely chopped onions and ginger-garlic paste till onions turn slightly brownish. Add chicken pieces and all other ingredients (except coriander leaves). Cover and cook till water is absorbed and chicken is cooked thoroughly. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.

Serves : 4 Preparation time : 30min

Chicken Kadai - 2

This is one more of those “Easy to make” dishes of pachi. A good dish for a breakfast. Its very healthy too with the vegetables. Instead of the tomato, onion mixture which I have mentioned below. Previous days left over subjis also can be used. Beleive me it gives a different taste.

Ingredients: Bread slices 5 Onions 2 Tomato 1 Chilli powder 1 tea spn Egg(Optional) 1 Cream 1 tea spn Rava(Sooji) or Bread crums 2 tbl spns Garam masala 1 tea spn Coriander leaves 4-5 strands Butter/ghee 1 tbl spn Salt

Method: Mix finely chopped onions, finely chopped tomatoes, finely chopped coriander leaves, chilli powder, garam masala, egg(optional), cream, Rava(or bread crums) and Salt. Take one tbl spn of the above mixture and apply to bread (on only one side), keep ½ tea spn of ghee or butter on it and fry on tava(the side having masala should be facing down). After 2-3 minutes, turn the bread. Fry for 2 more minutes. Serve hot with tomato sauce.

Serves : 2 Preparation time : 15min
