    Vietnamese Claypot Chicken #AtoZChallenge

    Updated on January 29, 2021 By Shalini 1 Comment - This post contains affiliate links which means if you use them to make a purchase, I'll earn enough money to maybe buy me a lil' something - an ingredient, probably.

    If you ask me what my favorite cuisine is, I’ll undoubtedly say, Chinese! Yeah, and not Indian.  And my favorite among them is Honey glazed Crispy Prawns. The day I cook Prawns like that, I’ll consider myself as a Chef. For now, I’m just an amateur.

    When I started to cook Chinese, I had a misconception that all Chinese recipes had “Corn flour” as one of the main ingredients.Facepalm I know, that was how I was- a big Zero in cooking!!Free Laughing

    Introducing to you, Vietnamese Clay Pot Chicken, which doesn’t actually need a traditional clay pot. Well, as you might have guessed, I came to know that only now :(

    This definitely tastes yummy, but if you prefer to make this dish mild or spicy, add crushed Thai chilly.

    Pepper Chicken- Chettinad Style #AtoZChallenge

    Updated on January 29, 2021 By Shalini 7 Comments - This post contains affiliate links which means if you use them to make a purchase, I'll earn enough money to maybe buy me a lil' something - an ingredient, probably.

    We are going to now check out a fiery chicken dish from the famous Chettinad Cuisine. Chettinad is a place in the southern most part of Tamil Nadu, India. The cuisine is legendary for its hot and spicy dishes. But, it is nothing short of a feast for the gourmet. Though many dishes are complex in nature, this is one of the most easiest of them all.

     

    Chettinad Pepper Chicken3

    I got this recipe from Pramila Aunty, mother of Dr. Roshan Radhakrishnan (who blogs at Godyears). Remember, they had graced this lil' space with Mughlai Chicken, a couple of days ago! When I saw this dish made by her, I knew I had to give it a try. The recipe can be viewed at Roshan's blog too.

    Chettinad Pepper Chicken2

    This is dedicated to you, Aunty <3

    Chettinad Pepper Chicken1

    Serve hot with Rice or Appams or Lace Rimmed Pancakes

    Lemon Chicken #AtoZChallenge

    Updated on January 29, 2021 By Shalini 7 Comments - This post contains affiliate links which means if you use them to make a purchase, I'll earn enough money to maybe buy me a lil' something - an ingredient, probably.

    I always try to bring out easy recipes for y'all. Obviously because I love to cook an easy recipe. Though I love to play around with food and tackle a new recipe, I am not patient when it comes to cooking. Leaving the meat for marination for 30-45 mins makes me all jittery. Because, once I am in the kitchen, I need to cook. So, if the recipe demands an overnight marination, I would prefer that.

    This is one of the easiest and crazily delicious recipe that I have cooked. I mean it, when I say it. I agree that I was a bit skeptical in preparing this, worrying about the tangy taste of lemon. But, Man! It turned out exotic.

    Lemon Chicken1

    The Lemon Chicken which I prepared is from Canadian Chinese cuisine, a cooking style invented by early immigrants who adapted traditional Chinese recipes to Western tastes. All you got to do is marinate, deep fry and mix in lemon sauce. Tadaa.... It's ready!

    Lemon Chicken

    This crispy, crunchy, tender chicken can be served as an appetizer or as a side-dish to fried rice. Let it be on top of your menu for dinner or to simply munch on watching a football match.

    Kerala Chicken Roast #AtoZChallenge

    Updated on January 29, 2021 By Shalini 13 Comments - This post contains affiliate links which means if you use them to make a purchase, I'll earn enough money to maybe buy me a lil' something - an ingredient, probably.

    That’s one incredible looking dish, isn’t it? The recipe is taken from Lakshmi Nair’s cooking show- Magic Oven. It is a little time consuming as you got to marinate and fry the chicken in batches.

    Chicken Roast

    The gravy is made and then the fried pieces are added to it.
