is it ok if i dont include curry leaves and marinate only for 15 mins? i have a competitipn and i want use this but i only have half an hour. please help
Reply :- Hi Sakina, 15 minutes of marination would be fine. The curry leaves give a nice South indian flavour. You can skip it, the chicken will still taste good. All the best for the competition. |
Comment by geeta naik My husband made the masala from your recepie " easy to cook chiken roast " and we made one change. We did not deep fry the chicken pieces but fried it with a little olive oil in a frying pan. ( Shallow fry ) and its good for our health especially since he has undergone open heart surgery. Rice, dal and 2 pieces of roasted chicken is great for Me and he eats 2 chappatis ( Phulka ) without oil , dal & 2 pieces of chicken roast and we enjoy our meal. Add to this some vegetables in each meal and some curds. My husband makes a Kadi and I am sure U too should try............. Ingredients :- 1/4 grated coconut , add to this 2 Red chillies ( badgi variety ), 1 green chilli , Tamarind , Ginger and 1/2 Onion sliced and salt to taste. Grind all this into a paste and add water to liquify it to form a curry and U could eat this with Chapaatis or rice or dip your Toated bread and enjoy yor meal With best wishes and warm regards, Mrs. Geeta S. Naik Reply :- Hi Geetha, Nice to hear that u tried the recipe. Even i shallow fry the chicken when i make it for my family.
I will surely try this kadi recipe... |
Comment by sofia fairlin what is paprika Reply :- Paprika is a variety of chilly powder which has all the flavours of a regular chilly powder without the spice. This can be added to dishes to get the colour and flavour but keeping the dish mild. You can find it in most indian and american groceries. |
