CHICK CHICK CHICKEN CUTLETS

Image
Sometimes, I get totally bored by eating chicken thighs, breasts and fillets...... So I tried something ingenious with chicken, I got chicken mince instead of the pieces. Threw some ingredients to it and that tasted like chicken heaven. I had these cutlets with bun, like an Indian burger. Everybody in my house loves it, we have this normally on Sunday mornings.............as its a lethargic rest day for us, so the dish should be heavy and comforting as well. My mother guided me during this experiment, otherwise, I would have made a blunder...!! Because of the supervision, this dish came out perfectly........... with no cutlets left in the plate. Here's the recipe- MIXTURE- half kg chicken minced one onion green chilly 2 chopped coriander a handful chopped finely salt red chilly powder turmeric eggs 2 gram flour(if the mixture doesn't hold in) oil PROCEDURE- heat some oil in a big flat pan mix all the ingredients as mentioned above and make small pat...

TRAVEL TO SOUTH- DOSA, a mid night present.

Image
I live in Maharashtra, nagpur so I can't get authentic dosa's here....:/ boo hoo!! I had authentic dosa's in hyderabad, chennai but its been quite a while. The dosa served there is contrary to what its served here..... :|..... In south viz; andra pradesh, tamil nadu, kerala, Kannada.... The dosa's may vary from state to state, but the flavour what you get there , I never found that here, or in any other place except south. I love south Indian food and culture a lot,I feel a connection cz my mother is telugu...... :-* According to my perception, south indians are conservative, well cultured, educated and dedicated , humble people....... :) Oh I ward off from the main topic here, "dosa". My mother always keeps the batter ready in the fridge for me, as I am quite fussy..!(maybe that's why I am getting fat XD..) Jokes apart, I let the batter stay in the fridge for 4-5 days for fermentation till it gets a hint of sourness to it, I kn...
