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 :)

Don't Drink and Drive

A Touching Poem...... by Anonymous I went to a party Mom, I remembered what you said. You told me not to drink, Mom, So I drank soda instead. I really felt proud inside, Mom, The way you said I would. I didn't drink and drive, Mom, Even though the others said I should. I know I did the right thing, Mom, I know you are always right. Now the party is finally ending, Mom, As everyone is driving out of sight. As I got into my car, Mom, I knew I'd get home in one piece. Because of the way you raised me, So responsible and sweet.. I started to drive away, Mom, But as I pulled out into the road, The other car didn't see me, Mom, And hit me like a load. As I lay there on the pavement, Mom, I hear the policeman say, "The other guy is drunk," Mom, And now I'm the one who will pay. I'm lying here dying, Mom.... I wish you'd get here soon. How could this happen to me, Mom? My life just burst like a balloon.. There is blood all around me, Mom, And most of it is m...

Alexander's Wishes

I am not sure if these are even relate to Alexander The Great. Nonetheless it's something which every person should know. There is very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander, the great Greek king. Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized how his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence. He now longed to reach home to see his mother's face and bid her his last adieu. But, he had to accept the fact that his sinking health would not permit Him to reach his distant homeland. So, the mighty conqueror lay prostrate and pale, helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, "I will depart from this world soon, I have three wishes, please carry them out without fail." With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals agreed to abide by their king's last wis...

Silver Arrows and Scarlets are back!

Everyone remembers what happened to Aryton Senna at Imola. I wasn't hooked on to F1 then but still hear people saying it was one of the darkest days of F1. Formula 1 has missed Senna ever since. Within 2 weeks of the Hungarian GP we had the news of one of the young GP2 drivers succumbing to injuries sustained by a loose wheel of the race leader. At the Hungarian GP we had Felippe Massa who was hit by a spring which came loose of the Brawn GP car of Barichello. Massa needed to be operated on and looks like he might miss the remainder of the season. I really liked Massa for fighting back all the time and trying to overshadow Kimi who now looks hopeless in the Scarlet Car although he did manage 2nd on the podium. Apart from all this happening we had the Renault team who messed up big time for race leader Alonso. After all that had happened in qualifying how could they not put the bolt on right. And if the did know it wasn't right they should have told Alonso to either stay in the ...
