Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
I use Bajia’s recipe:
- Make chicken broth by boiling chicken pieces [with bones] and some salt. Ajinomoto is optional…depending on how you feel about the research. I usually omit.
- Whenthe chicken pieces are tender, I remove them from broth and shred them, throwing the bones away.
- Meanwhile, you put the broth back on the stove and bring to a boil, add a can of creamed corn..or corn kernels that have been coarsely ground. Stir and simmer for a bit.
- Then add cornstarch mixed with some cold water, add half a cup or so to thicken while stock is boiling.
- Then beat an egg or two lightly, and pour over the soup stirring constantly to make threads of the egg.
- Turn off when desired consistency is reached.
