Recipes: Chicken Curry

Well this is something which I just imagined and made today after I went berserk shopping at Reliance Fresh and Reliance Delight stores for ingredients.

What you need:

  • Chicken Cut into cubes (or on the bone whatever you prefer)
  • Vinegar(I used Chilli Vinegar which I like more)
  • Ginger Garlic Paste
  • Whole garam masala
  • Cummin(Jeera) Powder
  • Coriander(Dhania) Powder
  • Chilli and Turmeric
  • Salt and Pepper for seasoning
  • Oil for frying
  • Onions
  • Tomato Puree
  • Garam Masala powder
  • Lots of fresh coriander.
For starters chop the onions finely as you would for a curry. In a bowl add the chicken, vinegar, salt, pepper, ginger garlic paste,dhania jeera powder and finely chopped coriander (sounds weird right? Believe me tastes good). Mix well and let it marinate for at least 10-15 mins. Make sure you do not over power the marinade with Vinegar or else the taste of the fresh coriander will be lost. Alternatively you could make a green paste in the blender if you have one and apply it to the chicken.
Heat the oil in a vessel and add the whole garam masala (pepper corns, bay leaf, badi and choti elachi, dalchini and star anise for me). Lightly roast / fry them till you start getting the aroma. Add the onions and saute till they lose their color. Add the ginger garlic paste. Make sure you account for all the indgredients as you have added some in the marinade and you will be adjusting the taste. Add the marinated chicken and mix. Add seasonings, chilli, turmeric, garam masala powder. Adjust the taste by adding more dhania jeera powder if necessary. Add the tomato puree to form a thick gravy. Add water and bring to boil. Make sure you don't add too much as the chicken also lets out water.

Finally add more freshly chopped coriander leaves and you are done!

This dish comes out somewhere in between a malvani curry and a tomato gravy which is exactly what I wanted.
Sorry no pic this time was to hungry :)

The Red Ferrari Jacket

If there is one thing which is really precious to me apart from all the gaming stuff and more than my Manchester United Jersey is my bright red original Michael Schumacher World Champion 2002 Ferrari Jacket. This was a time when Ferrari demolished the opposition and although I bought this probably in the 2004 season (during another Ferrari steamroller) I am in love with it. Being a Schumi fan (and a Ferrari loyalist) it is the best sporting merchandise ever. It's been more than 7 years since I have that jacket and it's served me well. I wore it around wherever I went. It was very common to see me wearing it at INKC dog shows all around. Some of my friends even called me junior schumacher. Some teased me that the judges would give me prizes by not looking at the dog but looking at the jacket. My first US trip, I complete immigration and move into US customs. Believe me I was scared. The cop takes my customs declaration takes one look at me and asks me - 'You a Ferrari fan?&#

How to Take a Great Photo for Your Social Media Avatar : " I’d be lying if I said I had a flying clue what “avatar” meant even a year ago. Now, with the absolute explosion of all things social networking, you’d have to be living under a clod of dirt in some remote corner of the galaxy not to have heard the word and it’s likely you actually have an avatar of your very own. . . or at the very least a profile picture or two or three adorning all the social networks you frequent. Now with that big, fat (and hopefully PHAT), fancy shmancy camera stuffing your stocking this Christmas, you’ll likely be asked to photograph one for someone in the not too distant future. Twitter users left to right: @imageisfound, @amelialyon, @rachelwonders Here are some tips so you’re sure not to disappoint. **PLEASE NOTE: I understand that different profile pics are appropriate for different situations and that ultimately it’s all a matter of preference. As a general rule of thumb however, I maintain

Not all change is good...

Remember the add of Titan watches ...yes... the one with Amir Khan in it? Makes me really ponder... It states the cold and hard reality of life. When we were children we really thought of becoming something. At least for me I wanted to be an Air force pilot one day, a cricketer sometime, a professional wrestler and what not. Finally I ended up being a software developer. I am not cribbing about what I am. In fact I actually loved working with computers and I still enjoy my job. Although I wish I would innovate something but then I guess the world is not ready for me yet ;) It's just that where has our imagination gone now? Sometimes I feel we are living what I call 'routine lives'. We hardly do any innovation. Most of our thinking is critical- What is happening to this country? Why am I not paid well? When will I be financially secure and what not . We do get emails from our friends (forwards) that sometimes show us the beauty of life. We don't have time to admire anyth
