Pudina Pepper Chicken



Pudina (Mint) has a cool sensation and its medicinal properties are well known.I am sure very few could resist this refreshing, pleasant flavor. It is used in curries, chutneys, salads and dressings. This chicken dish is flavorful and spicy and is perfect side dish for  ghee rice of chapathi

Ingredients

Chicken - 1 lb
Mint- 1/2 a bunch
Coriender leaves chopped-3 tbs
Onion- 2 medium
Ginger- 3 tsp
Garlic- 3 tsp
 Chilly Powder- 1 tsp
Coriander Powder- 1/2 tsp
Pepper - 1 tsp
Garam Masala- 1 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder- 1/2 tsp
Fennel seeds - 1/2 tsp
Lemon Juice- 1/2 lemon
Roasted coconut- 2 tsp (optional)
Salt to taste
Oil for frying- 3 tsp




Clean and cut chicken into small pieces. Marinate it with chilly powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, gram masala, salt and lemon juice and keep it aside for half an hour.

Cut onion into thin slices and make a paste of ginger, garlic , coriander leaves and mint leaves.

Heat oil in a non-stick pan and drop in fennel seeds and allow it to get roasted. Roast garlic-mint paste till there is a nice aroma. Add onions and saute till golden brown. Add the marinated chicken and stir fry for a minute. Cover and cook for four to five minutes. If you feel the chicken is too dry, sprinkle 2 tbs of water. Cover and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Remove the lid and contine cooking till all the water gets absorbed. Finally sprinkle roasted coconut powder(optional) and half tsp of garam masala. Serve hot with ghee rice or chapathi.

Try this..

Thalashery Chicken Biryani

Chicken Biryani is very important for festive occasions in Kerala. Different styles like Kozhikodan Biryani, Malabar Biryani, Thalashery style, Kayees Biryani famous in Central Kerala especially Cochin....the list goes on and on..... This recipe I had noted in my recipe book some time back  from a TV show. Talasherry Biryani ingredients are not much different from the usual Kerala styles,but the preparation and taste is definitely unique. In the ingredients you will find a total absence of curd and chilly powder. The rice I has used is long grain basmathi rice, as I did not have the smaller variety which is actually used in this biryani. Give this recipe a try..you will surely feel the difference. Ingredients For the Rice Basmathi Rice- 3 cups Salt to taste Cloves- 5 Cinnamon 1 inch tick Cardamon- 3 Ghee- 1 tsp Rose water- 2 tsp Water- 6 cups For the masala Chicken- 2 lb Onions thinly sliced- 6-7 medium Tomatoes- 4 medium Ginger - 2 inch thick peice Garlic- 1...

Berry Cake

This is a berry cake which I made a few days back. Here I used white cake recipe but dashed in a few black berries and strawberries. This cake complements any type of filling or frosting but I have just dusted it with powdered sugar to make it an accompaniment with coffee and my family really enjoyed this cake . I used self rising flour but you can use all purpose flour instead by adding in one third tsp of salt and one and one half tsp of baking powder to each cup of plain flour. Ingredients Self Raising flour- 2 cups Egg white- 3 eggs ( half Cup) Butter - one stick ( 4 ounce) Sugar- 1 cup  Confectionery sugar- 1/3 cup Milk- 1/2 cup  Vanilla essence- 2 tsp Black berries- 1 pint Strawberries - 1/2cup Preheat oven to 350 F.

Set aside.  Beat egg whites and vanilla extra...
