Chicken in Red Sauce by Prototype:

1 whole chicken (shouldnt be a big one-max 1.25 kg). give a cut in b/w the breast to open up the chicken. give cuts and pass long cocktail stickes from thigh into breast on each side so that they all stay ONE PIECE while cooking and donot break apart. give small cuts for the sauces to get in the meat.

I prefer to use a wide pan with a lid so that it is easier to turn over the chicken in it.

heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan.
fry .5 tsp crushed garlic in the oil.
add 3-5 whole red chillies too.
when garlic turns golden, add a splash of water and put in chicken carefully into the pan.
cook for 2 mins on one side, rotating it often.
change the side of the chicken by turning over carefully.
cook again for 2-3 mins.
sprinkle 3 tsp lime juice over it, add i chicken cube and half cup of water and let it cook on low-medium heat for 10-15 mins.(cover the pan with the lid) turning over the chicken once or twice in between.

add half tsp salt and half tsp black pepper + 3 tbsp tomato ketchup+3 tbsp chilli garlic sauce+ 4 tbsp imli pupl+ 1 tsp chilli sauce+ + 1 tsp BBQ sauce+half tsp mustard paste+ 1 tbsp sugar.add 1/4 cup water and cook on medium heat for 5-10 mins until the sauce is thick. carefully shift the chicken onto a serving dish and pour the sauce over it and serve.

Kabab dish by Shinoo

I used 1 kg of minced beef and made seekh kababs out of it. Now instead of grilling the kababs on the bbq or oven (grill) I deepfried them golden brown and took them out.

For one kg minced meat I used:
1 medium or large onion, finely diced
about an inch of ginger, crushed finely
2 tbsp crushed garlic
2 green chilli's
about 2 tbsp crushed coriander seeds
salt, according to taste
red chilli flakes or powder around 1 tspoon
pinch of black pepper, crushed
a few tbsp of oil (don't use it if u have keema with lots of fat)
u can use 1 egg for binding
1 tsp chaat masala
1 tsp garam masala

Mix everything together and leave it for 2 hrs.
Make longish kababs and deeprfy them till golden.

In a wok or karahi:
heat a little bit of oil
add 2 large sliced onions
1 bellpepper (any colour
2 sliced tomato's
pinch of salt
1tsp chaat masala
red chilli flakes
Fry for a few minutes and then add the kababs, cover and let it on dum for 10 mins.

Top with some lemon juice, hara dhaniya and a some sliced onion.

Vegetable egg fried rice by Lusi

Use one day old boiled rice (don't need to heat them, use them cold)

In a spacious pan, add some oil, add little ginger garlic paste and saute it for couple mins. Then add chicken cube and vegetables. Saute them for few mins. Make a scamble egg in seperate frying pan, add it to the mixture. Then add your rice, fold the rice in the vegetable (don't mix/stirr or you'll break the rice). Taste them, if you feel the need of soy sauce add according to taste, if you need hot sauce, add little bit of that. keep folding them on medium high heat for few mins. When done take off the heat and enjoy.

Roast Chicken with veggies
It’s really easy. I just made it up myself while experimenting. Normally we use chicken with skin but this one was skinless. It’s basically clean the chicken, dry it, marinate it with :salt, black pepper, garlic powder, red paprika powder, crushed red chilli and olive oil. make sure the chicken is all covered. I don’t measure anything, bass andaze se jitna daalna hai daal lo. Then I put the chicken in the middle of the ovendish and around it I add: potato’s, bell pepper, carrots and red onion. Sprinkle the same masala’s on top with some olive oil. Mix well and put it in the oven. (220 deg celcius) for about an hour or a little longer, chicken and potato’s should be soft. Turn the chicken halfway and make sure it stays moist (pour the juices over the chicken once or twice) and in the end add sweetcorn (from a can). That’s it
