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.

Stuffed Crispy Chicken

Hey Foodies!

Today's recipe is my invention .Its specially for those who wants to do my earlier French Style stuffed Chicken recipe . So i thought why not make a recipe which is "Fancy" yet simple than the earlier stuffed chicken recipe.

Ingredients:- (Serve 2 people)

1 Chicken breast
Peas 1 bowl
Corn 1/2 bowl
Garlic 3-4 cloves
Crushed Pepper
Mozzarella cheese (you can use any other cheese)
2 finely chopped chilies
Bread Crumbs
Butter 1/2 table spoon.
Olive oil 3-5 table spoon (i used Borges extra virgin olive oil,as usual  :D)
Salt

Time:- 25-30 mins



Preparation:-

Take a chicken breast  and with a small carving knife make a little opening ( should be like a pocket to put the filling). Take flat pan/shallow pan , heat up some olive oil and butter and add garlic,peas,corn chilles and stir well. Add salt and pepper and just about when the peas are cooked, turn off the heat and let it cool. After it is cooled put it in food mixer grinder (food processor) make it into a semi-paste . Do Not puree it , making the filling into a semi-paste form will help us easyily fill in the stuffing into the chicken breast.
And while filling  add piece of cheese along with the filling we just made.
Once the filling is done cover the whole chicken breast piece with breadcrumbs.

Tip:- If you have bread at home but don't have bread crums then do not worry. Toast the bread ,once done crush it and then grind it in food processor. Perfect Bread crums READY !! I did that.

Take a flat pan,drizzle some olive oil and little amout of garlic and now place the chicken breast on the pan and pan fry it. Once the outer skin is crispy fried, add a little water and put a cover on it , so that it can get cooked thoroughly.

  That's it Your "Stuffed Crispy Chicken"  is ready. With it I made pasta with the left over filling.You can make an Egg fried rice or Noodles. You can also make a gravy and serve it with the chicken too

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 cup Milk
1/2 table spoon baking powder
Drops of Vanilla essence
Red food color(strawberry flavor)

Note:- cup used must be all to measure all the ingredients

First mix the milk powder with milk in a bowl without any lumps.
Now in a separate bowl take Maida and sugar and mix it with the milk (that we made at first bydissolving milk powder).

You can use milk to liquidify the batter.
Now add vegetable oil and fold the batter properly.
Add baking powder,vanilla essence and mix well.

Now separate some amount of batter in a bowl and add red food color to it, mix well.

Grease the baking case. I have used an old school  baking case used on gas stove. Pour the plain batter(without color) first and then top it with the red batter. Take a fork and run through the batter.

You can bake it in microwave, probably might take 30-40 mins.

For gas stove baking case pre-heat it for 5 mins and bake the cake for 15-20 mins.

Keep checking if the cake is cooked properly , you know the drill take a knife punch into the cake, if it stick not backed yet if comes out clean,,its DONE.

Mutton Korma

Mutton Korma


Well its Sunday and lunch has to be something special.
 So why not try something new :)

Presenting Mutton Korma ...a very simple yet spicy dish.


Ingredients:-

Mutton (preferably the thigh portion, as you get very tender meat)
Clean it properly and properly rub the mixed spices (coriander,cumin,chilly,turmeric powder) and let it rest for a while.

Gravey Paste:-
Onions,ginger, garlic ,cumin seeds , red chillies ( boil 6-7 chillies in water for 2-3  mins, de-seed it ) put all these in the grinding cup and make it into a smooth paste.

Ghee 2 table spoon

Cloves 2

Cardamon 3

Green Chilies 2

Tomato

Potato 3 (sliced in cubes)

Turmeric Powder

Coriander Powder

Salt

Process:-

Heat the pan and add 2 table spoon of Ghee now add cloves and cardamom , doing this we let the clove and cardamom release its flavor into the oil. Quickly add the sliced potato into it fry it and take it out from oil and keep it aside. Now add the paste into the oil and stir it for a while.
Let it fry till it start releasing oil at the corners. Add a pinch of turmeric powder and coriander powder , again fry it.
This point add the marinated meat into the fried paste and keep stirring for 1-2 min. Have a check on the meant as we are not adding any water the paste might burn out as well. So be extra careful.
And reason to fry the mutton for some time is as it allows to melt all the fat on the meat and adds flavour to the curry.

Now add water to the curry and also the sliced tomato , cover the lid and let it simmer in low heat for 20 mins.

After 20 mins shift the the curry into a pressure cooker ( a short cut if you think cooking on low heat is time consuming)

And let the meat in the pressure cooker for again 7-10 mins.

Remove the lid of the pressure cooker and add salt to the curry and chillies to it and leave it for 1 min or so.

Last step add table spoon of ghee from the top.

That's it the very warm and spicy Mutton Korma is ready for a wintery afternoon.
