Re: Cooking - The beginners guide ..

im gonna make this soon

Ok Malika here you go :

Its called BBQ chicken …

Just take about 500g chicken … ( it can be more than that no issues at all )

now in a blender add the following:
2 chopped onions
one teaspoon garlic paste or four cloves of garlic
One teaspoon ginger paste or an inch of fresh ginger
One and a half teaspoon salt
One teaspoon red chilli powder
one teaspoon garam masala
4-5 green chillies
and half cup water .

Now blend this into a very fine mixture … and pour it on the chicken … Leave it to marinate in the fridge for an hour or two.

Then add half cup of fresh single cream ( you can easily get that from the market , usually they are in the same aisle as cheese and milk ) into the chicken …

Now heat a pan .. put in about half cup oil .. and let it become heated … it will take about a minute .. then add the chicken mixture into the oil … let it be on high heat for five minutes … stand next to it and keep stirring.

After five minutes reduce the fire to the minimum, cover the pot and let it be .. stir it only after every 15 minutes … it needs to cook for 40 minutes …

After 40 minutes you will notice , oil coming on top and the chicken cooked ( just check with a fork. the chicken should be really soft ) … now start heating a piece of coal ..

Just use a tong to hold the piece of coal and hold it over your hob fire for a good 15 minutes … then carefully place a cup in the center of the chicken salan … put this coal in the cup and quickly pour two tablespoons oil on the coal. then cover the pot asap .
now put off the flame … and let it remain for a good half hour .. dont uncover the pot during this time. The coal steam will get mixed in the salan …

Finally remove the cup and serve with rice /naan ..

Now incase there is an emergency , like the salan sticks ( which it wont ) then add no more then quarter of a cup of water … but usually no water is used in this dish …
