Street Style Bread Omlette
Street Style Bread Omlette
A typical street style version of Bread omelette, in which the eggs are mixed with some distinctive street masalas, chopped onions, green chillies, coriander and the bread is placed on the half cooked omelette, after that cooked from both sides and finally served with green chutney.

It’s a very simple bread omelette recipe and can be made in a jiffy. However you can add tomatoes, green onions, bell peppers as per your choice and taste. I like to keep it simple.

Care has to be taken while flipping the omelette. Place the spatula under the omelette in such a way that both the slices are on the spatula.

Also the bread I used was quite big in size and my pan small, so I had to cut it into half. You can use two full slices if you have a bigger pan and medium sized slices.





Ingredients:

2 Eggs

2 Bread slices ( I used one slice cut into two)

2 tbsp Onion (finely chopped)

1 Green Chilli (chopped)

Few Coriander leaves (chopped)

A pinch of Chat Masala

A pinch of Black Pepper

1 tbsp Butter

Salt


Method:

Take a mixing bowl.



In it add eggs, 2 tbsp Onions, 1 Green chilli, few chopped coriander leaves, salt and beat well.

Sprinkle a pinch of chat masala and a pinch of black pepper powder all over the omelette.

As the egg is half cooked and a bit wet the bread slices would stick to the omelette.

Check if the lower side is cooked. When cooked flip the omelette. Care has to be taken while flipping the omelette. Place the spatula under the omelette in such a way that both the slices are on the spatula, else the omelette would break apart.

Gently press the omelette. Cook for a few seconds so that the bread would be nicely roasted and omelette would be evenly cooked.

Flip it again. You will see the bread slices toasted and the omelette evenly cooked.

It is a medium spicy recipe, however, you can add more green chillies or even red chili flakes or red chilli powder to boost the hotness.

Garlic chicken Indian style / how to make garlic chicken / step by step images of garlic chicken recipe / recipe video of garlic chicken



Garlic chicken as the name suggests, garlic plays a very immense and considerable role in this recipe.This recipe does not include a big list of ingredients instead it would just require a few of them.

The chicken is marinated in curd and a paste of lots of garlic, a little ginger and some chillies. This marinated chicken is then cooked in the sauted onions until tender. For me it took exact 20 minutes, however, it should be done until cooked.

So lets begin with the recipe




Ingredients:

½ kg Chicken (skinless and medium pieces)

2 medium Onions (thinly sliced)

20 cloves Garlic

1 inch Ginger

3 Green Chillies

½ cup Curd

½ tsp Turmeric powder

½ tsp Coriander powder

¼ tsp Red Chilli powder

Salt

Method:



Grind 15 cloves of garlic, 1 inch ginger and 3 green chillies to a coarse paste.

Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 20 minutes or until cooked. Stir occasionally.

The water would be absorbed and chicken would be dry.

If you like, you could garnish it with some coriander leaves. I didn’t like to interfere the beautiful aromatic flavor of  this garlic chicken with any other essence, so, I kept it simple.

This tender and succulent garlic chicken could be served with any Indian bread of your choice or even rice.

Tips:

Do not add more flavors and spices, keep it simple.

It’s a dry dish, however, water can be added to make gravy.

The time of cooking may vary on the intensity of the heat and the thickness of the pan used. So keep on checking at regular intervals.

Chicken Chettinad - The Authentic Recipe With Coconut Milk
Chicken Chettinad - The Authentic Recipe With Coconut Milk


Chettinad cuisine is one of the spiciest and the most aromatic in India. This is the cuisine of the Chettinad region of Tamil Nadu state in South India. And today I decided to share a recipe of this Chettinad cuisine THE CHETTINAD CHICKEN.

Now-a-days you will find many modern versions of the chettinad chicken recipe but I love the original chicken chettinad recipe and so will stick to it using coconut. 

There are two ways of adding coconut to this dish either by adding the desiccated coconut or the coconut milk. I have today used coconut milk. 

One important tip I would like to share is that never overcook your chicken. It will make your chicken rubbery and very hard specially the boneless pieces

So lets start with our recipe by first knowing the ingredients. 

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 kg Chicken 

For Gravy:

2 Onion (paste)

1 Tomato (puree)

2 Green Chillies (paste)

2 Red Chillies

2 tsp Ginger Garlic (paste)

1/2 cup Coconut Milk

4 to 5 Curry Leaves

3 tbsp Coriander (finely chopped)

Salt to taste

2 tbsp Oil


For Marination:

1/2 cup Curd

1 tsp Red Chilli Powder

1/2 tsp Turmeric powder

2 tsp Coriander powder

Salt

Mix all the ingredients for marination and marinate the chicken in it. Keep it for 1 hour.



For Roasting And Grinding:

1/2 tsp Pepper cons 

1/2 tsp Cumin seeds

1/2 tsp Fennel seeds

1 Cinnamon stick medium sized

1 Bay Leaf

1 tsp Poppy seeds

2 Cloves

Dry roast all the ingredients for roasting and grinding and grind them to powder



METHOD:


Take Oil in a kadai (wok) and heat it. Firstly add the curry leaves, followed by the onion paste, ginger garlic paste, green chilli paste and stir till golden brown.

Then add the marinated chicken pieces to it. Fry the pieces till they turn white in colorr on medium flame which will take around 2 to 3 minutes.

Now put in the tomato puree along with the dry roasted and ground masalas and the red chillies, let it cook for another 2 minutes. 

Now add salt to it, remember you already have salt in your marinated chicken so add accordingly.

Now add a cup of water and bring it to boil. Lower the flame and cover the kadai with a lid. Let it cook for 20 minutes. Do not exceed 20 minutes, if you overcook the chicken pieces will become rubbery. 

After cooking for 20 minutes on medium flame add the coconut milk and keep stirring on medium flame. Cook for the last 5 minutes.

Garnish it with coriander and serve hot with rice or any Indian bread of your choice.
