Chili Prawn

When we talk about sea food Prawn is the first thing which comes to our mind...and when i talk about prawn/shrimp it always reminds me of the movie Forrest Gump and Bubba's obsession with shrimps. If you haven't watched the movie yet do watch it ;its never too late. 
I generally prepare Chili prawns on weekends as the pealing of prawns generally takes some time.My husband loves the prawn chili I prepare..He loves this dish not because I prepare it, but due to the fact that it is very tasty (I myself love to have multiple tastings while preparing the dish :) ).The dish best goes with noodles or mild spicy fried rice.

Tandoori chicken

Tandoori Chicken !!!!!!!! ...One of the most popular Indian subcontinent dish and is among my favorite.....Let me give a brief about this dish...Tandoori Chicken is originated from the Mughlai cuisine but with time it became popular throughout India.
It is traditionally cooked on high heat tandoor or a barbecue grill. The chicken is prepared by exposing the food to live- fire, this is how the dish is named Tandoori Chicken. A tandoor is a cylindrical clay oven where the heat is generated by a charcoal or wood fire and smoking by the fat and food juices that drip on the charcoal...We always think of having tandoori chicken in a restaurant  but it is equally easy to prepare and enjoy at home with an added advantage of tweaking the flavors as per your palate.
Well at home you can prepare it in an oven in case you don't have a tandoor...the dish will come out equally good or even better...

Chicken Bharta

A very happy Holi to everyone...The festival of Holi always brings smile on my face...loads of childhood and teenage memories-at home with family, at hostel with friends and now in a far off land....Well today the recipe I am writing about is not related to Holi nevertheless this dish is a popular choice among Indians who love to eat non-vegeterian cuisine. Chicken Bharta always reminds me of my days in Kolkata, back in India... While I was working in a bank in Theatre Road we often use to place order from  Sharma's Dhaba in Ballyguange Circular Road and is my favourite for chicken bharta in the city...
