Mughlai Chicken

Mughal Empires were just like any typical restaurant where the food quality is great in the start but after the owner gets rich and famous the quality goes away. Similar to this the first Mughal Emperors were awesome but the later ones messed up because of stupid love shit Anarkali and Taj Mahal mumbo jumbo.

Eventually this lead to the demise of the Mughal Empire but that doesn't eliminate the fact that the Mughals had lavish lifestyles and their cuisines were one of the best in the world at the time.

So after much unusual and unnecessary bukwass I will tell you all how to make this one Mughal recipe called Mughlai Chicken.

It is cooked in a blend of spice which is made by crushing cashew nuts, garam masala and dried red chilies. Cooked in milk it is a mild delight to must have.

INGREDIENTS:


6 chicken drumsticks or the chicken meat of your choice

1 onion finely chopped

6 red chilies

4 cardamoms

1 cup cashew nuts

1/2 teaspoon black pepper corns

1 inch cinnamon stick

1 1/2 teaspoon cumin (one for spice mix and half for gravy)

1 teaspoon whole coriander

4 garlic 4 cloves finely chopped


1 teaspoon of finely chopped ginger

1 cup of milk

Fry the chicken drumsticks in oil until they change their color and take them out separately.

Then we need to heat up red chilies, cinnamon stick, cardamom, cashew nuts, cumin, black peppercorns and whole coriander in a pan until brown.

Toast all these things well and grind them into powder form.

Put oil in a pan on medium heat and add cumin.

Put chopped ginger, garlic and onions in the pan as well.

As soon as the onions get translucent add salt.

Add milk into this mixture.

Add the cashew nut powder

Mix it properly.

Place the chicken legs in the pan, cover and simmer it on low heat for 15-20 minutes.

Take of the lid after 20 minutes.

Crush some dried kasoori methi between the palm of your hands. Add it in the pan and give the chicken a slight mix.

Cook chicken for at least 2-3 minutes more.

Mughlai Chicken is ready to be served.

Sprinkle some more kasoori methi on Mughlai Chicken. Add up some more crushed or chopped nuts to it. Have it with naan or the bread of your choice. Feel like a Mughal.

Stir Fried Chili Chicken Noodles

Patience is the key to success not the shit that DJ Khaled tell you guys.

Patience is lacking in the people, kindness is lacking in the people yet the ones who have these traits are the most beautiful human beings in the world.

Patience is also required in making Asian food. The weirdest food which takes 30+ minutes in preparation and it is cooked in only 5-10 minutes. I HATE MAKING ASIAN FOOD BUT I LOVE EATING IT.

Then again I love eating almost anything (HALAL to be more precise)

There is a new restaurant in town and I have been there thrice. The food is amazing and I urge you all to try that out. It is called The Rice Bowl and the whole concept of the restaurant is very innovative and different. They also have a a home delivery menu which I had my eyes on and upon Noor's suggestion I tried their Stir Fried Chili Chicken Noodles AND THEY WERE BEYOND AMAZING. So amazing that I had to try and make them myself and I did.

The preparation time is 30 minutes which involves a lot of cutting in detail. The rest is history.

INGREDIENTS:

1 pack of Chinese egg noodles (preferred brand in the pictures; bought from Al Fatah)

250 grams of chicken cut into thin slices

1 can of mushrooms, sliced

1 tablespoon of sliced ginger

1 tablespoon of sliced garlic

1/2 cup of chicken broth

1 tablespoon of vinegar

1 tablespoon of oyster sauce

1 1/2 tablespoons of soy sauce

1 tablespoon of fish sauce

2 tablespoon of oyster sauce (one for chicken and one for sauce)

1 teaspoon cornflour

1 small onion, sliced in cubes

green onions (white part cut into inch long slices)

4-6 green chilies sliced in half

First we will boil the noodles. If you are using the same brand as in the pictures or a similar one then do not boil the noodles for more than 30 seconds. Yes you read it right, 30 seconds because these noodles cook quickly.

Marinate the chicken in a pinch of salt and pepper, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil and 1 teaspoon of cornflour.

Mix it well and set it aside.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or non-stick pan and fry the ginger garlic alongside the chicken until the chicken is completely cooked.

While the chicken cooks make this sauce by combining soy sauce, chicken stock, oyster sauce, fish sauce and sesame oil.

Now take the chicken out of the wok and add 2 more tablespoons of oil.

Start frying the vegetables 1 minute each, starting from the mushrooms, green onions, onions and green chilies.

Now add the sauce while stir frying the vegetables and quickly add the cooked noodles and chicken.

Give everything a thorough stir and Stir Fried Chili Chicken Noodles is ready to be served.

Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich

America is the land of the free until unless you are black, brown or basically any other color than white. Things are even much more worse thanks to Trump and his hilly billy supporters. Other than that America is not a bad place at all. Good food is hard to find though.

I just do not get one thing that why the hell do people over there like to eat medium rare beef. I mean how the FORK do you chew it? Unless you have titanium teeth it is impossible to digest that.

I always wanted to make Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich but not with beef that is seared for 3-4 minutes. I cooked my beef covered for more than 30 minutes over medium heat.

I know I made this but TBFH this is one of the best sandwiches I have ever had in my entire life. Let me tell you how to make it.

INGREDIENTS:

500 grams lean beef cut into thin strips (extreme thin)

salt and pepper as per taste (for the beef)

2 medium onions sliced (about half an inch thick slices)

2 medium capsicums sliced

100 grams butter (50 grams for the onions and the other 50 for capsicum)

1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup cream cheese

1/2 cup cheddar cheese

Submarine buns (got it from Bread & Beyond)

First of all we will take care of the beef.

Put 2-4 tablespoon oil in a pan and add the beef.

Add salt and pepper and mix the beef properly.

After 5 minutes it will start leaving it's water, turn the heat to medium cover it up and let it cook for 30-40 minutes.

NOTE - Keep a check on your beef because the water will run dry a couple of times during this step and you have to add a cup of water at least twice.

Now we caramelize both onions and capsicum.

Melt butter in a frying pan and add onions.

Cook them on medium heat until they get light brown and translucent.

Repeat the same process with capsicum.

Time to make the sauce.

Add the milk in the sauce pan over low heat. Add cream cheese and cheddar cheese.

Keep stirring until the sauce turns light yellow.

The sauce is ready.

Time to assemble the sandwich because it is no less than an avenger.

1 - Toast the buns in the oven.

2- Spread a layer of onions on the bun.

3 - Spread another layer of capsicum over the onion layer.

4 - Top it with slice strips of beef.

5 - Now pour as much as of the gooey cheese sauce as you want.

THE SANDWICH IS READY TO BE SERVED.

This is no less than a juggernaut of a sandwich. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN STAND UP FOR PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SANDWICH.
