CHICKEN GHEE ROAST

by 1 Comment

Chicken Ghee Roast

Chicken marinated with roasted blended spiced and slow-cooked in ghee (clarified butter).

WHAT IS GHEE?

Ghee is clarified butter. Ghee is made by heating butter to separate the liquid and milk solid portions from the fat.

I make my ghee most times or at least my mom does. Here is our recent picture of ghee we made at home.

Ghee homemade

There is a myth that ghee is bad for health. It is not. Anything in moderation is good. It had good anti-inflammatory properties and also contains heart-healthy fats.

Ghee can be used to our skin for dry skin and even to our hair for moisturizing it.

ENJOY WITH:

Marination helps the spices to get into the chicken. You can always replace chicken with paneer, tofu or mushroom.

Enjoy with Roti, Naan, paratha, parotta or plain hot rice or jeera rice.

Teriyaki Spicy Baked chicken

by 4 Comments

Teriyaki_Chicken-2It’s loaded with garlic, sweet and heat that tastes a million times better than take-out. Spicy, crispy, sweet with ginger and garlic flavor. Truly finger licking chicken, and also one of those dishes that don’t require too much standing nor spending time in the kitchen. This method is similar to my Sweet and spicy Drumsticks.You can serve it with veg fried rice , vegetable noodles or even some plain rice or quinoa. This is an easy dish you must try in summer. It is one of easy appetizers/snacks that you can make without standing much on kitchen. And it is great for any get together, game night, parties and great to munch when your friends are there at home. Kids would love it and surely not only kids. I have few more Chinese Asian Inspired recipes that you can look on.

Spicy Chettinad Chicken Drumstick Roast

by 6 Comments

chickendrumstickmasaladry-2Blend some flavorful spices, massage the chicken and roast it in pan or oven! 🙂 and delicious!

I am having a feeling I am posting too many chicken or lamb recipes, the fact is I don’t cook much these days, even if I cook, I just don’t get a chance to take pictures. When I make it planned I try taking pictures as I would like to keep this page alive too :). It is my hard work and I really don’t want to go waste after all these. I made this with some lamb chops curry last weekend for my colleagues. I had this recipe typed long long back J and actually I have so many saved in drafts. However never tried them or posted them. This recipe was quick to make and I really like recipes when I don’t have to stand in the kitchen watching it cook.

I made them in pan, you can also make them in oven by baking it.  It is Diwali week, I really wanted to make some sweets and snacks. Too busy and held up with a lot more things now so no time. For me Diwali is just another day, but I like the fact I can indulge on those sweets and snacks. I totally miss the fact that I have no family to share with so I am really not tempted to make some. I get tempted once in a while checking out the pictures in Instagram. I usually don’t get any pictures other than foodie pictures in my feed 😀 it is so loaded with those pictures. Sometimes I liked them which helped me still inspired with cooking and recipes. When I want to lose weight, it’s a big NO! Also for the fact, even if I make them, I have no one much to enjoy eating them.

It is best with some tomato garlic rasam and rice or some salad.

Chicken Biryani Homestyle

by 7 Comments

ChickenBiryaniquickhomemade-4Spices massaged to the Chicken, marinated overnight, layered with rice, fried onions and cooked slowly to perfection for the chicken juices to go in the rice!

For all Biryani lovers 🙂 I am sure there are many!

You are going to love this rice flavorful rice. This is an exotic Indian chicken biryani in a restaurant style. Biryani is one of the most popular dishes in India. Biryani is one of the foods for sure that gives that comfort and happy feeling.  Each and every time when I make biryani, I try different methods  just to differentiate and have different taste each time. There are varieties of biryani are prepared like Hyderabadi biryani, Mughal biryani, chettinadu biryani, Kashmiri biryani. I tried to make restaurant style few times before like restaurant style chicken biryani, restaurant style vegetable biryani and it was great success. So, this time I wanted to make some Homestyle Chicken biryani like the way I made Homestyle lamb Biryani. My friend krips makes a mushroom biryani which I totally love, so I adapted that recipe, made some tweaks and made this recipe. I brought this to my office and 😉 they loved it 😉 not used to up Indian biryani heat 😀 kept saying it is spicy 🙂 I did not want to make less spicy , I wanted them to taste Indian spicyness 🙂

I wanted to make a recipe which taste best yet not complicated. If you marinate the chicken with masalas overnight, the chicken will be juicy and flavorful. Blend the ingredients in the blender, massage the blended paste to the chicken, marinate overnight or at least 2-3 hours. This makes the job lot easier.

  • • • Coriander- ½ cup ,chopped
  • • • Curd – ¾ cup
  • • • Oil – 2 tbsp
  • • • Salt – 2 tbsp
  • • • Lime juice – 1 tbsp

    Rice:
  • • • Basmati rice – 3.5 cup (soaked for thirty minutes)
  • • • Jeera - 2 tsp
  • • Coriander leaves – 1 tbsp
  • • Mint leaves – 1 tbsp
  • • • Salt – 3 tbsp. (according to taste

    Others:
  • • • Fried onions – 1 tbsp
  • • • Ghee - 2 tbsp
  • • • Oil – 2 tbsp
  • • • Orange food colour mixed with 2tsp of water or saffron in warm water
  • • • Rose Essence – Few drops
  • • • coriander and mint leaves– to garnish
Instructions
  1. Blending & Marination:
  2. Blend the ingredients under to blend. Wash the chicken and massage the blended paste nicely to the chicken and add some 1 tbsp of friend onions to it. Marinate overnight or at least for 2-3 hours.
  3. Soak basmati rice for 30 minutes. Do not wash many times the rice; it will make you lose the rice flavor. I washed only once.
  4. Rice:
  5. Boil 8 cups of water in high heat. When it boils vigorously,(add only when it starts boiling) add the soaked rice, jeera, 1 spoon ghee, chopped coriander (1 tbsp), chopped mint ( 1 tbsp) and salt. Cook till its 80% done. Usually I put them for 7 minutes after adding rice. That is usually 80% done. Drain and keep aside. (You should adjust both sautéing the onions and boiling water around the same time which will make the job easy, as you need the rice hot to add it to the top of chicken for layering).
  6. Chicken masala:
  7. Meanwhile, add oil/ ghee (I used half in both) in a heavy bottomed pan, add the sliced onions, ginger garlic paste, salt and sauté well in medium heat till they become slight golden color. Then add the sliced tomatoes with little turmeric and sauté well for 3 minutes till they become mushy.
  8. Add the marinated chicken and sauté for 2 minutes till all the chicken gets coated with onions and tomatoes.
  9. Remove half of the chicken and keep aside.
  10. Layering:
  11. We have the half chicken on the pan already. Add half of the 80% cooked rice, add the rest of the chicken and then layer the cooked rice on top.
  12. Add some fried onions, ghee, saffron in warm mater, rose essence, coriander and mint leaves.
  13. Cover the entire pan with foil and cover with a plate. Place a weight over it and let it cook on medium flame for 8 minutes and keep a dosa/crepe pan below your biryani pan and now 35 minutes on very low flame.
  14. Now remove the weight and foil and fluff the rice carefully.
  15. If it is spicy in the end, squeeze some lemon, it will reduce the heat and enhance the flavors also.
Notes
1. Don’t over soak the rice, and then it will not give you that biryani texture in the rice.
2. Gently mix the rice at the end, don’t break the rice.
3. Don’t compromise on the quality of the rice. Use basmati rice and not long grained rice.
4. The red color is not healthy. But sometimes I use it. You can add the saffron soaked in warm milk instead always.
5. Marinating chicken is a must. Marinate at least for an hour, I soaked overnight.
6. Don’t overcook the rice, and then the rice will be mushy. So when you cook rice, stand next to it and keep checking it.
7. Cover the dish and bake in a 350f oven for 15 minutes or till the cooked but not mushy.
