Chicken – swatistyle

I had no recipe today, so I made up this one, and it came out pretty ok and this is going to be our dinner tonight.

Chicken – 750gms
Cream – 150gms
Yogurt – 100 gms
Saffron – a little
Kewra essense – 1/4 tsp.
Ginger -Garlic paste
Garam masala
Whole Red chillies
Salt
Oil

Marinate chicken in yogurt, cream, gingergarlic paste, garammasala and saffron – keep it for 5 hours.

Heat oil, remove chicken pieces and fry them to seal the juices inside. Add chillies, add the rest of marinade and salt. Cook till tender

Switch off the gas, add kewra essence and a little cream as dressing.

Serve with hot phulkas.

  1. Does the weather have any bearing on your asthma? I must say, my daughter, who used to have regular asthma attacks here, has hardly had them in the US where she lives now. I know how bad an attack can feel, and I am glad you are better.

    Good to hear about Aasim…but no surprises there!

    I was just about to email Tarique about the Nagpur Bird Race when I saw your post…

  2. I sort of supported protests against MF Hussain, not because he drawed deities nude but, he/someone had categorised them amongst other “erotica”… which was unnecessarily inviting trouble.

    But the Baroda episode irks me, this was a blow to freedom of expression[MF Hussain’s case as an acquaintance(who is in that very business) informed me, was delibrately created by his people to garner publicity for the art pieces :(] , their paintings were as sacred as the figurines in those glorious temples, poor students had no malicious intention at all!

  3. Ah. Were you addressed as “Dear Sir/Medium” as I was recently, on an email that asked for valentears….?

  4. Wow, hadn’t read that before, thanks!

    ..Ap AyEy…bAhAr Aa gayee maikhAnEy mEin…(phool hi phool khil utthEy)
