Chicken Manchurian (Gravy)

 
  Chicken Manchurian is an Indo-Chiness recipe.  Before this, I  Have shared four Indo-Chiness recipes: Chilli fish, Fish Manchurian, Chill Chicken & Fried Rice and  Chilli Soya Chunks. Chicken Manchurian is my all time favourite. My daughter also like it very much. So quite often I cook Chicken Manchurian at home.
     Chicken Manchurian is a very popular Indo-Chiness recipe. Chicken pieces are cooked with manchurian sauces and I basically  serve this with Fried Rice. Chicken Manchurian can be of many versions.  Dry Chicken Manchurian can be served as a starter or as a side dish. Here I am sharing Gravy version of Chicken Manchurian, which can be served as a side dish with Fried Rice. Here I am sharing a very simple and home style version.

The recipe of Chicken Manchurian (Gravy)

Ingredients:

350 gm chicken pieces
2 eggs  slightly beaten
3-4 tbsp flour
1 onion finely chopped
4-5 cloves of garlic chopped
2-3 chillies finely chopped
1 tbsp tomato sauce
1 tbsp chilli sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp black peeper powder
1 tbsp corn flour
3 tsp oil
Chopped coriander leaves
Salt to taste

Method:

      In a bowl take chicken pieces. Add salt, beaten eggs and flour. Keep it aside for 10 minutes.
 
   Heat oil in a pan
 Fry chicken pieces untill golden brown.  Drain and keep the fried chicken pieces aside.

  In the remaining oil fry chopped garlic, chillies and onions untill colour changes.

 Now add tomato sauce, chilli sauce, soy sauce and black peeper powder. Add chicken pieces and mix well with sauces.

   In a bowl mix corn flour, vinegar and one cup of water. Mix well and pour into the pan above chicken. Simmer and cook for few minutes in medium heat.

Add coriander leaves at last. Serve hot.

Cheese Corn Toast Recipe

Cheese Corn Toast is a simple breakfast recipe that can be prepared within just 5 minutes. This cheese corn toast is my daughter's favorite.  I made this last Saturday.  If you are a follower of me on Instagram , I'm sure you have seen this pic.  With the similar idea I made Roti Pizza (Indian flat bread pizza) last Sunday.


As my daughter doesn't like onion and capsicum, I haven't added these two veggies on the toast. But if you like, you can add. I'm using ready to eat sweet corn here to save time. It's a no oven recipe.  I made it in a flat pan (Tawa).

Paneer Tikka (Grilled Cottage Cheese)

Paneer Tikka is an Indian dish made from cottage cheese cubes marinated in different Indian spices and grilled in a tandoor, microwave or tawa. We can also add pieces of onion, capsicum and tomato in this recipe. You can serve paneer tikka as a starter.

This is probably my last blog post of 2019. Only couple of hours left for 2020 while I'm typing this recipe. The whole day I was very busy. From evening onwards I prepared many dishes as a part of year ending celebration. I made only vegetarian food today. Today is tuesday and in India  tuesday is considered as a holy day and therefor many Indians eat vegetarian food on tuesdays. We too eat vegetarian food on tuesdays but we have a different reason for it.  As my father-in-law died on tuesday,  we don't eat non-vegetarian food on tuesdays.

As a part of year ending celebration, I prepared panipuri in the evening followed by mixed chat. 





 Then I prepared paneer tikka for starter for the dinner.  For the main course I cooked tawa r…

Assamese Anguli Pitha Recipe

Anguli pitha is a finger shaped recipe made from rice flour.  The Assamese word 'anguli' means fingers and 'pitha' is a type of rice cake. It's an Assamese style recipe that can be served as breakfast(jolpan) or as a snack with the evening cup of tea.

The recipe anguli pitha requires little time to prepare.  As today is Sunday, a holiday, I decided to prepare this recipe for breakfast. It's a very simple and less spicy recipe. This recipe that I am going to share is a salty one but there is one sweeter version of this anguli pitha recipe, which I will share some other day. The type of rice that I am using is called 'lahi chawl' in Assamese which I received from my maternal uncle who is a farmer and he grows rice on his own paddy field. You can use any other type of rice also.  You can also use ready-made rice flour available in the market.  But I preferred to make it myself and therefore I soaked 1 cup of rice on Saturday night to prepare anguli pitha.

The exported fish and fish from the fisheries are available in the market and fish roe or fish eggs are also widely available during the season. It is usually served as fritters, or as deep fried or shallow fried. Making scrambled fish eggs is very easy and it tastes very yummy.

Monsoon is also the season for bamboo shoots. During this season the raw bamboo shoots are widely available and therefore we preserve it in bottles for ferme…
