Grilled Chicken with Tomato Concasse - Recipe

The name sounds heavy, no?? But trust me, the recipe is very healthy and easy to prepare. This can be made without oil or just a bit of oil to grease the pan. The word "concasse" may be unknown to some people. Lemme, tell you, "tomato concasse" is when we boil or microwave a wet tomato for 2 mins and peel off the skin of it and throw away the seeds.

I cooked this one keeping in mind that now, in every family there are people who suffer from diabetes, thyroid, sugar, high blood pressure and what not!! Chicken is good for health if taken in proper quantity and without spice. So, this approach was made specially for those people, but surely even the fittest person will enjoy this equally. :-) Have a look to the dish, your mouth will start watering :-P :-P

Ingredients:

1) Chicken (medium sized) - 4 pcs
2) Lime juice -5 tbsp
3) Ginger juice - 5 tbsp
4) Salt
5) Olive oil(optional)
6) Garlic frills -1 tbsp
7) Green chilly frills/paste - 1tsp
8) 2 chopped onions
9) Sugar - 2 tbsp
10) 2 chopped Tomato concasse
11) Tomato Ketchup - 3 tbsp
12) 1/2 chopped capsicum
13) Fennel - 1 tsp
14) Parsley leaves/coriander leaves
15) Honey - 2 tsp
16) White sesame seeds(roasted) - 2 tsp

Method:

1) Marinate the chicken with salt, lime juice and ginger juice for 3 hours.
2) Grease a non-stick pan with olive oil, no excess oil is needed. If anyone wants to avoid the oil totally, one can.
3) Cook the chickens for 30- 45 mins in medium heat.

4) Serve them in a plate.

Now, for the tomato concasse sauce-

5) Add garlic frills, chopped onions in the non-stick pan.
6) Add salt, let it melt.
7) Add sugar, let it caramelize.
8) Add the tomato concasse and cook for 2 mins.
9) Add 1 cup hot water, tomato ketchup, chopped capsicum, green chilly paste,  fennel, parsley/coriander leaves, honey and cook for another 2 mins.
10) Add the sauce onto the grilled chicken, spread some roasted sesame seeds and serve.

I was not so sure about the sauce before cooking, but it turned out to be supppperrrbbbb!!! I am just waiting to cook it for my hubby when he comes to Kolkata next time.

Happy cooking!!

Non-veg Rabri Recipe

For those who don't know what is Rabri?? I shall tell, it's a sweet dish, famous in Kolkata. Well, it takes a lot of time as it is prepared with continuous slow heating. But now-a-days we all are very busy no? So, here is a short cut way to feel how Rabri tastes. Well, yah the real Rabri and this one dont taste xactly same, they taste similar. And if someone(like me) is allergic to too much thickened milk, then that person will just love my recipe. It's a very simple and easy recipe. I can guarantee anyone (except that person can't digest milk and egg together) will LOVE this.

One more secret, this is the first sweet dish I made for my hubby, and he loved it, and I was too satisfied when he just kept licking and licking the bowl even after it was finished. :P :P :P Anyway, now to the recipe-

Ingredients:

1) Milk( 1 ltr.)

2) Egg (5 pcs)

3) Sugar (5tbsp)

4) Salt (upto taste)

5) Cinnamon Stick (5 small pcs)

6) Cardamom (4 pcs)

7) Refined Oil( 5 tsp)

Method:

1) Make five omelets out of the five eggs (this is where the salt will be used only) using refined oil.

2) Shred them into pieces(evenly or unevenly)

3) Slightly smash the cardamoms so that the seed in them start peeping, this will add some more flavor to the milk.

4) Then add the cardamoms, cinnamon, sugar to the milk and boil it in slow heat until the milk becomes 3/4th of the actual quantity.

5) Add the shredded omelets to the milk and cook until the desired thickness is achieved. 

And that's it. So easy no? I know. 

Happy cooking. :-) :-)
