Chicken and egg frankie

Normally in India it is called Egg roll and chicken roll and is a very popular street food. It is very easy to make at home and it tastes delicious. If you are a vegetarian skip egg and chicken and prepare the filling with veggies. Today I made two frankies one with egg and one with chicken sausage. First lets learn how to make egg roll.

 Ingredients

Chapatis/ tortillas 1

Egg 1

Pepper powder 1/4 tsp

Oil 1 1/2 tsp

Onion 1 sliced

Green Chilli 1 chopped

Cucumber 1/2 sliced

Chaat masala 1 tsp

salt to taste

Tomato sauce 1 tsp

Green chilli sauce 1/2 tsp( optional)

Directions

First prepare the Chapati and keep aside.

( To make chapati take Whole wheat flour, oil, a pinch of salt. In a bowl mix together flour, oil and salt. Add water and make a soft dough. Divide the dough in equal sized small balls.

Take a ball, flatten it with finger tips and using a rolling pin start roll out the dough to form a circle. Use dust flour while rolling. Now in a heated skillet put the rolled out dough and cook for few mins. Flip and cook the other side too. When done keep aside.)

Now break an egg into a bowl and beat it with salt and pepper.

Heat a nonstick pan, apply oil and pour the prepared egg.

Place the chapati on top of the egg mixture and press it.

When one side is cooked flip and cook the other side.

Take it out in a flat dish.

Now place the sliced onion, cucumber, green chilli, chat masala and tomato sauce.

Roll the chapati tightly and cut into half.

Your egg roll or egg frankie is ready.

Now to prepare Chicken sausage roll make the chapati in the same way as mentioned above.

Fry the chicken sausage and cut it into small pieces.

Now put the sausage, onion, cucumber and tomato sauce.

Roll tightly, cut it into half and your Chicken sausage frankie is ready.

Butter-Chicken

Butter chicken Recipe

Butter chicken

In India it is hard to find any Resturant which does have butter chicken in their menu card, a mild chicken curry with onion and tomato. It is one of the most popular dish among Indians. Since butter chicken is specially a non spicy dish so even kids love this dish. Butter Chicken is mainly preferred with Naan( type of Roti) , vegetable pulao or tandoori roti. 

In this preparation I have used pureed cashew paste rather than cream. It gives a different flavor. I normally make Butter Chicken for my son and pair it with vegetable pulao. Ingredients used in this recipe is quite simple and easily available. 

Ingredients

Chicken 1/2 kg with or without bones

Onion 3, minced

Tomato 2( pureed)

Tomato paste or sauce 1 tablespoon

Butter 1 tablespoon

Oil 1 tablespoon

Ginger paste 1 teaspoon

Garlic paste 1 teaspoon

Coriander powder 1 teaspoon

Garam masala powder 1/2 teaspoon

Kashmiri red chilli powder 1/2 teaspoon

Dried kasuri methi leaves 1/2 teaspoon

Cashew paste 2 teaspoon( soak and grind cashew nuts)

Salt to taste

Turmeric powder 1/2 teaspoon

Directions

Marinade the chicken with turmeric powder and little salt and keep for 5 min.

Heat oil in a pan. Put the chicken pieces and fry for 2min.

Now heat butter in a pan. Add the minced onions, ginger and garlic paste.

Fry till the raw smell disappears. 

Then add coriander powder, Kashmiri red chill powder, turmeric powder and salt.

Fry for 1to 2min. 

Now add the pureed tomato and tomato paste.

Saute for 3 to 4 minutes.

Now add the chicken.

Cook for 10mins.
The chicken will let out more water, so stir the chicken, cover and cook for another few mins.

Check if the chicken is tender.

If the gravy is too thick add some hot water. 

Now add kasuri methi leaves and cook for 1min. 

When done add garam masala and cashew paste. 

Stir and cook for only a min. 

Don't boil. 

Adjust salt.

Remove from fire and serve with plain hot rice
