Oven Grilled Chicken


What I read today and What I am inspired by

Connect. Connect with your heart. Peel those layers of frustration, stress and confusion away, Laziness is a symptom that you're not connected to your heart. You're not living your truth. 
Instead connect. Connect with your heart. Deep down, you're not lazy.And you know it. Connect with your soul, listen to your intuition (Allah bestowed to you for a reason!) and get crystal clear on what truly matters to you. Nobody procrastinates when they're living from their heart. And guess what darling? It's not a struggle!!(Inspired &Fabulous)

Spicy Chicken Fry (Kerala Style)

Did all of you get bore with my meat and fish recipes repeatedly??????..I too badly want to share a veggie recipe...
What to do????Vegetable dishes are  made very rarely during this Ramzan season...If I want to  save a day from the meat and fish varieties ,,,it should be eggs...And for suhoor(early morning meal), we seldom have rice and curries..mostly it is one glass of milk or a banana........If rice is there, the curry is a simple rasam or moru curry with the beef fry I've posted earlier....And these two curries of mine are not that much good....(According to my H)...And one more opinion from him is that I dont know the basic recipes which everybody knows well,and his mom knows very well....
Anyway I will try...Insha Allah...and one more Insha Allah is there..After ramzan, I will try to post 5-10 vegetable dishes repeatedly..




Every time, the chicken pieces in the chicken curry are left over and shifted to the fridge...and the next day it is transformed into cutlets or samosas....,,,,,,,,,,,one among the transformations is my chicken Ulli vada..remember???????Last day with madakku pathiri, I decided to make a spicy egg masala and this kerala style chicken fry..Normally I don't use coriander powder in my chicken or fish fries....While talking with my sis on Skype, I told her that I want to make a  chicken fry differ from the normal one..Then she suggested to add coriander powder and it was a big hit,,,and it had that thani naadan flavour,which we get from the local tea stores and thattukadas in Kerala...

  1. Chicken Pieces (cut into medium size pieces) : 500 gm
