Chicken 65

  February 23, 2019 Saffron Flavours   Non Veg   No comments
Be a kid or a teenage or an adult or an oldie, chicken lovers trend all over the world at all times! One meat that is a favourite of all beyond belief! When cooked, it can be presented in many guises. Sauté it, fry it, toss it, bake it, steam it – eat it the way you want to. Whatever its form may be upon being cooked, its flavour may change but its flesh remains high in protein, low in fat and can be digested easily. This time we are preparing Chicken 65.

Chicken 65 is one of the most popular snack and a starter recipe all across India… It is made using boneless chicken pieces marinated with some spices and deep fried.

How the name chicken 65 came ? Chicken 65 was a dish introduced in 1965 at the Buhari Hotel restaurant in Chennai by its founder A.M. Buhari. It is introduced in 1965, so it named chicken 65. Another account claims that it is a dish containing 65 chili peppers and one more is that the dish was at 65th number on the menu of the hotel, that’s why the name.


Chicken 65


INGREDIENTS 

300 gm chicken breast, cleaned and cut into small cubes (boneless)
  • 1/4 cup thick plain yogurt 
  • 1/2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder 
  • 1/2 tsp cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp coriander powder
  • 2 tsp ginger garlic paste
  • 2 tsp corn flour 
  • A fistful of curry leaves
  • 10 slit green chillies 
  • 2-3 cups of oil,  for frying
  • Instructions

    1. Mix the yogurt with all the spices, corn flour, ginger-garlic paste, and some salt. 
    2. Add the chicken pieces to this and mix well.
    3. Refrigerate this mixture for about 2 hours.
    4. When you are ready to fry, heat the oil in a kadai or pan. The amount of oil should be enough to almost cover the pieces so the quantity required will depend on your pan.
    5. Gently add the marinated chicken pieces one by one without overlapping and fry on a medium-low flame until golden brown, turning every once in a while. The outside should turn a dark golden brown otherwise the meat won’t be cooked through.
    6.  Remove from the oil. Drain on paper towels as you fry the next batch. Add the curry leaves and slit green chillies when you are frying up the last batch and let it turn crisp.
    7. Drain and add curry leaves and green chillies to the fried pieces of chicken. Give everything a quick stir and serve hot .

PIZZA (CHICKEN)

  December 09, 2018 Saffron Flavours   Non Veg   No comments
 Pizzas are one of the most popular food items in the entire world. They are native to Italy and it is believed that pizzas were a subtle improvisation of flat bread prepared by ancient Greeks and Italians. The base forms the structure of your pizza. You can choose from ready-made pizza bases or can make one at home. Make sure that you knead the dough properly and pay close attention to the ingredients that you add. A little yeast is always desirable as it helps the base to rise properly. Adding lukewarm water and a little olive oil ensures a wonderfully smooth and soft dough. You can choose from a variety of flours for your base. From the traditional maida to whole wheat atta, multi-grain, soy flour and oatmeal flour.Today I am using maida and readymade sauce. You can even make fresh pizza sauce at home.You can let your creativity run wild when it comes to topping your pizza,from aromatic herbs and garden fresh veggies to soy chunks, meat balls, prawns, paneer, mushrooms,chicken, corn, fish and lots more.Mozzarella cheese will always remain the classic and most preferred variety however ricotta and cheddar cheese can also be used.
Ingredients
  • Maida - 1 Cup
  • Warm Water - ½ Cup
  • Olive Oil - 2 Tbsp
  • Mixed Herbs - 1 Tbsp
  • Sugar - ½ Tsp
  • Salt - To Taste
  • Yeast - ½ Tbsp
  • Onions - ¼ Cup (Chopped)
  • Bell Peppers - ¼ Cup (Chopped)
  • Button Mushrooms  - ¼ Cup (sliced)
  • Pizza Sauce - 3 Tbsp
  • Cheese - ½ Cup
  • Olive OIl - 1 Tbsp
  • Chicken pieces- 200gms(small cubes)
  • Salt n Herbs - Your Preference!

Instructions

  1. In a bowl add the warm water, sugar and yeast. Mix well and keep aside for 10 minutes.
  2. Add the Maida, salt, herbs in a bowl or a kneading plate and mix well. Pour in the yeast mix and knead to a sticky soft dough, if required add more warm water.
  3. Transfer to a oil greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth and keep aside in a warm place for about an hour.
  4. After one hour, heat a gas tandoor/cooker in med-high flame or a oven at 250° C for 10 minutes.
  5. Dust you hands with maida and knead the dough out for a minute. Then roll it dusting Maida in between to prevent sticking as thin or as thick as you prefer. I roll it to 26 cm diameter.
  6. In a pizza pan or any bakeable tawa add one tbsp oil and then place the rolled pizza dough and adjust the shape if needed to.
  7. Place the tawa in the tandoor and bake the base for 2minutes.Maida  crust pizzas have a tendency to have a raw after taste/smell if not cooked well.
  8. Take the base out and spread the sauce, scatter the cheese, onions, capsicums, mushroom slices and chicken cubes. Season with salt and smear the edges with oil.
  9. Transfer this to the ovem and bake for 20 minutes in med-high flame.
  10. Pizza is ready, rub the herbs and add those in as well, slice and enjoy!
