Pepper chicken (Kali Mirch Murgh)



Enjoying a sumptous meal on Sunday afternoon is an ultimate pleasure. Residing in a multi-storey building with so many families together has it own plethora of initiatives. The clock ticks 12"0 clock and you can sense different smells emanating from each home. Every woman busy in the kitchen, toiling hard to give the best food of the week to their family. Its the festive mood lingering in everyones mind that ticks their ribs to cook a mouth watering platter. What a wonderful way to begin a week!! 
Three cheers to my family, my mom who always had an edge over her generation to cook even the simplest two ingredient dish to a sumptous affair. My dad, the masterchef at our home always made me and my siblings to wait for Sunday for the exemplary food he cooked. Mutton Biryani, Liver and kidney curry, Mutton korma, Mutton fry, Raita, Rotis and Salad were laid on our table for the Sunday fests. 
Well, tried my best to reach atleast 10% of what my Mom and Dad used to do for me. Wish, i each time get inspired by my childhood memories and the neighbours around me to excel in what i cook for my husband. Love my best critic!! My Husband!!

Mini Chicken Kebabs

 I love reading, writing, phrasing sentences and creating out of the box things. Blogging has always been on my mind since 2008. But never really had time to pin down the things racing in my mind.
This is my first blog entry and that too for sumptuous food. Never really thought my love for food would make me start blog writing.
I am an ardent persuader of experiments and challenges, and when those are made of simple basic things, what better thing could one ask for in life, specially when you are the one having the pleasure of that blended melt in mouth. This appetizer is being sent to Blog Event - Eid Potluck party .
Well, Here goes my first recipe MINI CHICKEN KEBABS (I got this one from Sunita Rodriguez show "Meals on the Run" aired on Food First Channel.


Ingredients
2 Chicken breast pieces
4 to 5 Mushrooms
1 medium Onion
1 Tomato
1 Capsicum (Green, Yellow)
3 Tsp Ginger Garlic paste
4 to 5 Garlic pods
3 Tsp Oregano
Salt to Taste
Olive Oil (Any vegetable oil would do)
Pepper Powder


Directions:
Cut all the vegetables (Onion, Tomato, Capsicums and Mushrooms) and Chicken into cubes of almost same size. Take all of them into a bowl. Add chopped Garlic, Oregano, Salt, Ginger Garlic Paste, Freshly grounded pepper powder, and Oil. Marinate it for 20 to 25 minutes.
Skewer all of them to toothpicks (available in supermarkets). Take oil in a non-stick pan and fry them turning them on all sides.
I prepared this dish early in the morning as the side dish in lunch box for my husband. Glad..he liked it.
