Egg curry

The whites are rich sources of selenium, vitamin D, B6, B12 and minerals such as zinc, iron and copper. Egg yolks contain more calories and fat. They are the source of cholesterol, fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and lecithin.

In my home since we have moderate levels of cholesterol, we have egg white omelets often tapping into the protein power of eggs and when we want to eat whole eggs, we choose this egg curry dish. The cooked yolk (yellow) slips out easily so I sometimes leave that aside and enjoy the white with the curry flavors......enjoy spicy egg curry to warm up any meal.

Chicken Popcorn Recipe

Popcorn chicken recipe – how to make crunchy KFC style popcorn chicken at home.

To make chicken popcorn similar to KFC, is not difficult but need just small dedication for your recipe. You just have need to add a step, to soak chicken in butter milk (diluted yogurt) for at least 45 mins to 5 hours makes it tender and juicy. It yields tender bites that are so soft from inside and crusty outside since we will bread them before frying. However it is just an optional step.

If you are wondering why am I sharing a deep fried recipe here on a healthy recipes blog? I personally feel, it is right and healthier to enjoy deep fried foods at home rather than in take away or fast food outlets like KFC, since we can use the fresh and best kind of meat and oil to make these when prepared at home. We really don’t know the kind of oil or meat used when we eat out.
For a healthier homemade popcorn chicken recipe, use unbleached flours and whole grain bread crumbs or coarsely powdered cornflakes instead of flour. Many brands sell oil exclusively meant for deep frying and baking, you can choose something like that.

1. Drain off the water completely from washed chicken. Chop them to bite sized pieces. Add red chili powder, ginger garlic (paste or powder) onion powder, pepper powder and salt. If you have rosemary & turmeric add that as well now. Mix well so the spice mix is coated evenly.
2. Add the egg and corn flour. You can also just use egg whites. Mix well.
3. Add the breadcrumbs.
4. Mix well and set aside for about 5 minutes. This helps the bread to stick well to the popcorn.
5. Heat oil and drop the chicken bite by bite. Keep stirring while frying for even browning. Fry in batches till you finish. Drain them on a kitchen tissue.

Popcorn chicken is ready. Serve it hot with your favorite ketchup.

How to prepare Chicken tikka

For a home preparation, making chicken tikka recipe in an oven, is convenient, the way I made them here. If the chicken tikka is made to enjoy as an appetiser, we use gram flour / besan and if the tikka is made to prepare a chicken tikka masala gravy, then gram flour should not be used since it alters the taste of the gravy entirely.

To make chicken tikka recipe, food colour is often used you can use as required. If you are particular about the colour, I suggest using a good Kashmiri red chili powder or paprika which yields a good vibrant color.

Adding too much of garam masala or spice powder, leaves a bitter taste to the tikkas. So adjust the quantity slightly to suit the taste. To make the best chicken tikka, always use hung curd or thick curd that has been drained off well otherwise the tikka doesn’t turn out good.

1. Add curd, lemon juice, ginger garlic paste and all other spice powders to a plate and mix well.

2. Add oil to the marinade. Oil helps to tenderise the chicken when used along with yogurt or lemon juice.

3. Add the chicken that is drained completely. Make sure there is no water dripping from the chicken before you add it to the marinade.

4. Mix everything well. Set this aside for at least an hour to over night in the fridge. If you have meat tenderizer, you can use it. But that is optional.

5. When you are about to grill them, soak the skewers for 30 minutes in water to prevent burning. Preheat the oven to 240 C. Set aside the chicken removing excess marinade. To the excess marinade add the cubed veggies. Toss them to coat the marinade well.

6. Skew them alternately chicken , onion and capsicum. Grill this for about 20 to 30 minutes.
