Green Chicken by Lusi

the green stuff is a blend of cilantro, green chilies, and yougurt.

I made a puree with blending cilantro, green mirchain, little onion, and little tomatoe for raita. I just used couple tsps of that mixture while cooking.

So this what I did... in a pot add little oil, ginger/garlic paste and let it saute it for few mins. Then add cilantro puree ( i had 1/4 piece of chicken breast piece sliced, and for this much chicken I used like 2 tsps of the puree), salt to taste, little haldi, little garam masala, like 1/4 cup of yougurt, and little lemon juice. Mix it all and let it cook for few mins then add the chicken, cook the chicken on medium low heat till tender. If you like dry karahi like masala then let it cook a little longer, if you don't like or don't want dry masala then you can turn of the heat earlier. If you like it extra spicy then add more green mirchain in the puree or add more chopped green mirchain while making the masala.

SERVES 4
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup minced onion
• 1/2 cup chopped and seeded plum tomato
• 1 teaspoon minced jalapeno chile, more if you like or serrano pepper
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed,well drained
• 1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce (I like homemade or Uncle Dougie's, a brand out of Barrington, IL)
• 1 egg white, beaten
• 4 whole grain buns, toasted
Toppings
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 4 leaves lettuce
• 4 slices thick tomatoes
• avocado, slices
• barbecue sauce (Whatever else floats your boat ... sour cream?)
1. Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat.
2. Add next onion, plum tomato, jalapeno, garlic and chili powder; sauté 5 minutes.
3. Cool slightly.

5. Combine with onion mixture, breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons of the barbecue sauce and egg white.
6. Shape mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.
7. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill.) It will look as though these little burgers will just fall apart and turn to mush, but they stay together really well once they"hit the pan"!
8. If grilling, oil the rack or spray grill rack with nonstick spray, then fire up coals to medium heat.
9. If pan-frying, heat a little olive oil over medium heat.
10. Place patties on grill or in skillet and cook until golden brown and heated through, about three minutes per side.
11. Place burgers on buns.

Khattay Baingan by wondergurl

chop the bainguns in big chunks if you have the large-sized variety or if you have the baby sized ones (desi style) than you can just cut off the stem and make 2 major cuts right through in the shape of a cross, that would look more presentable by it keeping its shape throughout cooking, with chunks it becomes a bhurta.

chop and slightly brown 1 onion, add 1 tsp of red chilli powder, salt to taste, 1 tsp ginger/garlic paste, 1 tsp soonf, half tsp kalongi, 1 tsp zeera, half tsp haldi, 1 and a half tsp dhaniya powder add a little water while you bhoonofy the masala so it doesnt burn. Add 3 chopped tomatoes or 3-4 tbsp tomato puree, little more water and bhoonofy till a thick gravy forms. Add the baiguns, stir well to coat them with masala, cover and cook on medium heat, about 30 mins (keep stirring at intervals) garnish with chopped dhaniya and green chillies.

Re: Recipes from Aaj Kiya Pakaya/Khaya

Chicken with bechamel sauce by Lusi

Chicken Breast: Take the chicken breast piece, cut it in half vertically from the middle (chicken breast is like a heart shape, so when you cut vertically from the middle it will be like a half heart). Then from the thicker side of the piece (which will probably the inner side, which will be straight), slice them from middle horizontally, so you will have 2 sort of thin slices. Then pound the chicken with a pounder (if you don’t have a pounder, you can use a heavy frying) .

Now cut those pounded pieces horizontally into two equal pieces.

Oh and make sure when you start working with the breast, it is dry not wet. Use paper towel to dry as needed.

Stuffing: my sister was making aloo samosas so we used some of that mixture with mozzarella cheese. (the mixture had mash potatoes, salt, blk pepper, cilantro, and finely chopped onions)

Take some butter in a bowl, make sure it has been softened in room temperature.

Now take the pounded breast strips. spread little butter, then leaving little edge add little of the potato mixture and sprinkle some cheese on it, then roll it. If you want you can pin up the edges with a toothpick. Stuff all the pieces.

Now in one plate take some bread crumb (i used italitain bread crumb as they are seasoned) and in another one beat few eggs (2-3)

Roll the chicken in bread crumb, egg, and bread crumb. In a skillet add some oil, let it get warm then add your chicken pieces and let them cook on medium low heat under cover. After few mins change sides. Take them out when golden brown from all sides.

Sauce:

I had skim milk at home and it was qiute a job to get the taste so I would suggest either use whole milk or better use some cream like half n half.

In a pot add little oil and butter, little garlic powder (if you use garlic paste then saute it for couple mins) then add flour to the oil butter, and bhonafy it for few mins ( i would say if you are using 1 cup of milk/cream then use like 1 tbsp of flour) after few mins add the milk, salt, blk pepper, and nut meg if you have. Also don’t add all the milk at once. Add it in smaller quantity and use a whisk so you can make a smooth sauce. Once you have added all the milk, let it come to a boil (but keep stirring with the whisk) then add parmesan cheese ( i added mozzarella cheese too). Mix it and let it cook for another couple mins or so.

In a serving plate layer your chicken, pour the sauce over (make sure you don’t pour too much sauce over) If you think you have extra then take it out in a separate bowl.

Enjoy it with rice, pasta, or veggies.

Golden Chicken by Mano04

Marinate chicken with yogurt, ginger garlic paste, coriander powder, roughly crushed red pepper, garam masala powder.
Fry onions n take them out when they are golden.
Then fry cumin seeds, black seeds, fresh or dried curry leaves in oil; you can then take them out if you don’t like them.
Then add chicken n fry it till brown or little cooked, add little more yogurt so it won’t get dry. Then cook it covered till its cooked from inside.
In the end add brown onions and fresh coriander n mix a little, it will turn golden. Garnish with crushed almonds.
I can’t tell you accurate amounts of all ingredients as I just add the ingredients by my own idea.
