Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
How did you make chicken for this? and garlic sauce recipe - the one I saw online required to make it in huge amount otherwise it wouldn’t be ok or something but I don’t need that much?
Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya

That is definitely not Tamil. Even I know that!
Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
You even say that about words that ARE Tamil’ish. Quit insulting my Tamil; it is betta than urs. 
Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
Tamil’ish? As opposed to Tamil?
Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
d6c bhaiyya, i have two versions of this soup..the regular recipe way and the shortcut way…both are amazing and turn out perfect so I’ll let you choose which way you want to make it..
**Shortcut recipe:
**Sautee sliced mushrooms and shredded carrots in a smidge of oil and let them soften…once these are sauteed, I added one carton of this:
Let it come to a low boil/simmer and add your cooked shredded chicken, cubes of firm tofu and if you like bamboo shoots…thicken with cornstarch (2 tbsp of cornstarch to 2 tbsp cold water) and let it come back up to a low boil. At the end, slowly add one beaten egg and stir. Garnish with chopped green onion and wonton strips. It took me maybe 15 minutes tops.
If you don’t want to use the prepared chicken broth (and this was the first time I tried it, I always make my own) then here is the traditional recipe I usually follow and it turns out just as perfect:
4 C chicken broth (again, I make big batches about once a month, so I always have this on hand..if you don’t you could use 4 cups water and 4 knorr or maggi cubes but I don’t like all the sodium/msg in those)
3 tbsp soy sauce
Shredded cooked chicken
Sliced or diced mushrooms
shredded carrots (optional)
1/2 tbsp chili garlic sauce
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/4 cup white vinegar
canned bamboo shoots, drained and julienned
firm tofu, cut in diced cubes
2 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp water
1 beaten egg
chopped green onion for garnish
1/2 tsp of toasted sesame oil (optional)
Sautee your mushrooms and shredded carrots until soft, then add in the chicken broth. Add soy sauce, chicken and the chili garlic sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes then add the white pepper, white vinegar, bamboo shoots and tofu. Simmer again for another 5 minutes. Combine the cornstarch and water to make a slurry and thicken the soup. Simmer for another 5 minutes or so and when soup is thick, pour the beaten egg in slowly and stir. Lastly, add the green onions and toasted sesame oil of using. (you can adust the level of sour/hot etc by adding more vinegar or chili paste per your liking)
Serve and enjoy!
Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
^Khattichic, it has dehydrated chicken broth.
Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
what do you mean?
Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
sorry i meant swanson broth. so not halal
Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
Thank you for pointing that out but we all have our own beliefs and tolerances. I didn’t want to make this recipe into a theological debate so that is why I clearly stated this a shortcut for those who are inclined to go that route, and then I gave the full recipe I make 99.9% of the time with homemade chicken broth made from hand slaughtered zabiha chickens.
Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
I just said it. i don’t want to go into debate either.
Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
Thanks. Inshallah will try it on weekend and report back
Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya

Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
I just use swanson vegetable broth as my usual base for soups. I 'ce never made homemade chicken broth. So I think I’ll just apply that recipe with only that accommodation…and the rest of ingredients can stay the same. Will give it a go one of these days. I love soups. Thank you, KC.
