Hello Foodies,

Writing a post after ages now :D , so let me know how you liked the recipe....

Its a pretty quick and easy recipe, perfect for your house parties or unplanned dinners.

Chicken Hot Wings in  Nando's Sauce .

Nando's Sauce is must, you can easily get it from any grocery store. And if you cannot find one then we also have an alternative, so don't worry :)

Ingredients:-

• Chicken Wings (four, you can take as per your requirement)
• Mixed Masala (1 spoon)
• Nando's Sauce (Extra Hot)
• Tomato sauce ( 2 Tablespoon)
• Garlic Clove (2 chopped finely)
• Coriander (Finely chopped 1 tablespoon)
• Chilli Flakes (1/2 tablespoon)
• Honey (1/2 table spoon)
•  Salt For Taste
• Vegetable Oil (2-3 table spoon)

Preparation:-
First prick slightly with a fork on the skin and marinade the chicken wings in the Mixed masala and some salt and let it rest for 15 mins.
Now take a shallow pan heat some vegetable oil and once it is warm place the wings on the pan and put a lid on and lower the flame.This way we are allowing the chicken to cook in its own moisture and juices.Now  let it rest on pan for about 2 mins and then turn the chicken. Again let it cook for 2 mins on the other side too. Once you see the oil leaving the meat , take the wings out and let it rest.

Now is the time for the sauce. Don't add extra oil we will use the same oil in which we have shallow fried the chicken wings. Add the chopped garlic and the chilli flakes. Then add the sauces.

Nando's sauce is a bit hot so you can use it according to your taste preference. Now incase if you dont have Nando's sauce handy then along with the Tomato ketchup add  half a table spoon soya sauce and finely chopped ginger. Now let the sauce simmer for a while . At this point keep the flame in low as it may burn the sauce and can ruin the flavour. Once the sauce thickens up even more add a bit salt and  1/2 spoon honey and mix well. Then add all the chicken wings and coat all the pieces with the sauce and put the lid on again for around 1-2 mins. Add chopped coriander before serving







Thats it crispy tangy Hot Chicken wings are ready.

Its super easy and Lip smacking recipe.

Please try it and let me know if you liked it...

Egg Naan / Indian Flat Egg Bread

Hey Foodies!!

I am really very excited to share this recipe. It is a Naan recipe / flat bread which can be enjoyed with rustic meat curry or any chicken curry and some spicy veg gravy too.


Ingredients:-

All purpose flour / Maida (ok so my way of measuring is little funny but it is always accurate. 1 handful of flour = 1 roti/naan/flat bread . Now measure and take flour accordingly)


Hung Curd 1 cup

Baking Powder 1 table spoon

Salt a pinch

Warm water (enough to kneed)

Egg 1


Preparation:-

In a bowl add the all purpose flour / Maida . Add salt and baking powder first. Then curd and kneed well with warm water. It shouldn't be very sticky . Now cover it with cling wrap and leave it for 30 mins.

After 30 mins , with very light hands fold the dough again and cut it into small pieces to roll them out into flat bread.

On a flat pan bake the naan/ flat bread . Keep flipping it over so that it is baked properly. Now those who are pure vegetarians can stop here to get perfect naan. Add a little butter on top and you have very own Butter Naan.

Otherwise beat an egg in a bowl, and once the naan is baked brush the beaten egg on both side and add some vegetable oil and fry both sides properly. There you have it, YUmm!! Egg Naan :)

Njoy it with any curry / gravy.

Do try this at home, and lemme know if you liked it .

See you soon.
