Merry Christmas. This festive season is turning me all lazy. Its so difficult to get up from bed these days. I find this winter more colder than the last years . The shopping season is about to end and i have grabbed all desired stuffs in discounts. 

The exchange of Christmas gifts with friends is happening almost everyday. My son is totally loving the Christmas tree at our house and is amazed with the ornaments and lighting on it.

Curry Würstchen(Sausage curry)

Its Christmas time and the place where i live in Germany is all set  with Christmas market. All over the market area theres lots of innovative lighting show that has been placed. This looks absolutely amazing.
In my visit to Christmas market i focused mainly on the food. Apart from Gluwien(Hot seasoned red wine) and Kinderpunch(mix fruit juices for kids) sausages are major consumed food during this season.

Schezwan Chicken Noodles

How about having a schezwan noodles to refresh up your evening. For making this noodles you need to have schezwan sauce with you.

I love butter chicken

Baked whole chicken

After long time i was craving for the baked chicken. Its kinda cold at my place and continuously drizzling since 3 days. I felt like having some crispy soft chicken at this time. So i baked a chicken by incorporating both deshi and videshi ingredients. The outcome was fantastic. My husband and son enjoyed it. I am sure you will enjoy this recipe as well.

Chilly chicken with gravy

And once again am back with a Chinese cuisine. My love for Chinese dish will always remain the same.
Previously i posted Dry chicken chilly and here am posting it how to prepare it with gravy.
This dish tastes wonderful with rice and noodles as well. With gravy it is apt to serve as a main dish.

Chicken Curry - The Bangla Style

The Bengali Culinary art has always inspired my cooking. Say it like fish, chicken or any vegetable i often like to cook it the Bong way. This time it was chicken curry that i prepared. As i mentioned earlier a bong dish often has a dash of sugar to it for carmelizing the dish. I used the same principle in this curry too. 

The output of this recipe is superb. My husband was extremely happy with texture ,taste and flavor. While i was cooking the aroma was tantalizing. I am sure the readers of this post will find it extremely helpful to prepare chicken curry the bong way. 

Chicken Egg Roll with a video

When it comes to preparation of chicken egg roll am always on my toes and you won't believe that it can be do in less than 40 minutes(kneading, Filling preparation,rolling and cooking the egg roll).

Ranchi and Bokaro street vendors prepares some of the Best chicken rolls. However i was really disappointed with the egg rolls that i had in Bangalore at several places.

There is way to prepare this and therefore i shot a video of the final assembling of everything.

I have learnt how to do this by watching the street vendors as they prepared it. Being raised in a vegetarian family i always prepared the veg roll adding soy granules instead of chicken chunks and it was also good. But as soon as i got married and came to Hyderabad i tried doing some hands on with the chicken roll. I surprised my hubby by presenting him an excellent one and since then he knew that i could cook few of the awesome mouthwatering snacks.

So friends here is my favorite roll recipe and i know like me there are many of you who love it too. So i dedicate this recipe of mine to all my friends of Ranchi and Rourkela.

Chicken curry- Andhra style

Being a total chicken fan, i always hunt for ways to cook it differently. This time i searched for south Indian recipe and since i always ordered the Andhra chicken curry whichever restaurant we went in  Hyderabad , as i liked it a lot, so i decided to prepare in on my own this time.
To my luck i came out with a delicious and rich andhra chicken curry. I used poppy seed and coconut to prepare the gravy. I was surprised with the effects that this two ingredients had on my dish. It was more flavorful and the chicken curry tasted simply superb.
I know many of my friends like me are chicken curry fan, i dedicate this curry to them

Chicken meat balls with Spaghetti(Asian style)

I have always been fascinated by the pictures of meat balls lying over spaghetti. I never tried it with meat because of so many reason but then i realized i can simply do it with the chicken itself as chicken being low fat this would be better. I quickly went through the recipes of usual meat balls and then i knew how i was going to make it in Asian style with a little Indian touch to it.

Coriander Chicken(Dhania Chicken)

I love using herbs in my food. It entangles the dish with some enchanting aroma. That is why i cooked up the herbs chicken. The herb that i basically used in this dish are the fresh bunch of green coriander leaves and a bunch of fresh mint leaves. To be straight forward i added the green chutney in the chicken . The preparation of green chutney is very simple but the taste that it imparts to the whole dish  is just unparallel.

Watched an awesome romantic Bollywood movie yesterday "Aashiqui 2". Heart touching movie and some of the most soothing songs of this decade. Aashiqui 2 is a must watch for Bollywood fans .

Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani

Creamy Chicken and Mushroom pasta

My kid loves chicken dishes. Last night i decided to prepare something that's not spicy yet tasty and delicious . I have been preparing bechamel sauce  for quite a long time. So i decided using the same sauce for the chicken and mushroom. The dish came out really good and both my hubby and my son enjoyed it to the fullest. I would love to share this quick and tasty chicken recipe with you all.

Matar Chicken(Green Peas Chicken)

My sister-in-law is a great cook. She always have some or the other great idea of cooking. This time she suggested me to prepare the matar chicken. At first i wasn't sure of this idea but as i proceeded i was happy to see the outcome. 

I have a kind of tendency to prepare food that are mostly influenced by the Bengali culture and cuisine though i myself is not Bengali. The reason might be i was born and brought up in a small town that lied on the border between the two states of India ...Jharkhand and West bengal called as Muri. I am lucky to be the one who had the opportunity to be a part of this beautiful  small place that lie on the banks of River Swarnrekha. I miss me no more staying there. I miss my childhood days that i spent there. The celebrations that no longer takes place and those dahlia flower that no longer blossoms as once they used to.

Chicken Teriyaki with Rice Noodles

I have always been a great lover of east Asian foods. Recently i came to know about this saucy dish called as chicken teriyaki. Its so much flavorful that its almost hard to resist. I paired it with some rice noodles and to my grace it came out really superb. So enjoy this teriyaki recipe.

Dahi Chicken(yogurt or curd Chicken )

Dahi or yogurt is said to soften the flesh or meat. Indian preparations often incorporate the use of curd in number of non-vegetarian dishes as well as vegetarian dish. In this recipe i use yogurt to make the chicken soft as well as to enhance the flavors of the spices. I also use the spices in a particular way while marinating which makes this dish taste wonderful.
