NO ONE IS BORN A GREAT COOK, ONE LEARNS BY DOING SO.

I have been trying some good recipes since sometime and impressing my family. Firstly it was my parents and now my husband. I tell you guys impressing husband is much more difficult. 😉

Perfect food is a myth. Food is perfect according to your taste and preferences. Some likes hot & spicy, some like plain, some sour and sweet. Depends upon the taste you hold. Just remember perfect blend of ingredients mixed with your pure love will definitely create magic. ❤

Today I am writing this to share a lovely recipe with you all. My husband really liked it and gave some lovely compliments. ❤

Let’s get started with the recipe.

Ingredients for Chicken Tikka

• Boneless Chicken 1 kgs
• Tomatoes roughly chopped 4
• Green chillies 4-5 chopped
• Tikka masala 2 tbsp
• Coriander powder 1 tbsp
• Cumin powder ½ tbsp
• Yogurt 2 tbsp
• Ginger and Garlic paste 2 tbsp
• Salt as per taste
• Oil as required

METHOD:-

Marinate chicken with tikka masala, coriander powder, cumin, yogurt, ginger garlic paste and salt for 30 minutes.

Heat a large pan and add oil. Add the chicken pieces.

Add tomatoes and green chillies.

Saute and cover until it’s tender from medium to low flame.

To enhance the flavour you can give coal smoke but my husband doesn’t like that I skipped that step. The chicken was ready within 40 minutes.

Ingredients for Saffron Rice

• Soaked Basmati rice ½ kg
• Water 4 cups
• Bay leaves 2
• Star anise 2
• Green cardamom 3-4
• Cumin seeds 2 tsp
• Fennel seeds 1 tsp
• Few Saffron strands
• Salt as per taste

METHOD:-

In a large pan, add water, rice, bay leaves, star anise, green cardamom, cumin, fennel, saffron and salt.

Let it come to boil and let the rice be cooked completely. Once cooked, drain the excessive water and put the rice on dumm for about 10 mins.

CHICKEN TIKKA with SAFFRON RICE is ready to serve.

Better tastes with caramelized onions and tomatoes chutney.

My husband prefers yogurt raita which includes chat masala and cumin powder.

I hope you will surely appreciate my effort and try out this recipe.
