Garlic Chicken

Today I am going to post the recipe for Garlic Chicken… I love this recipe a lot and even my hubby…  While in Chennai I use to go out to restaurants to relish on this particular dish but never did I ever think that  I would make this one day at home…  I loved cooking but I dint have time to do so in Chennai but here in Kuwait I have so much of time to try different recipes… Well I was supposed to post this recipe a long time ago as my dearest friend – Jensy asked me to do so… So here I am jensy to give you the recipe…  One thing that I like about Kuwait is that we get all sorts of vegetables over here… especially fresh spring onions which I like to add to all of my recipes as a final garnish…  Let’s have a look at the recipe… J

Ingredients:

Boneless Chicken – ½ kg

Spring onion  - 2 stalks

Soya Sauce – 1 tablespoon

Chicken Stock – ½ cup or 1 cube

Onion – 2 medium

Red Chilli paste – 2 tablespoons

Garlic – 20 cloves

Corn flour – 2 tablespoon

Tomato ketchup – 2 tablespoon

Oil – 1 ½  tablespoon

Salt  to taste

First clean the chicken and cut into medium size pieces. Finely chop the Spring Onions. Take an onion and cut it into 4 pieces and then slice it again in the center thus you will get big pieces of onions. Chop the garlic into small pieces.

Chilli paste: for chilli paste take 10 red chillies and put them in half a cup of hot water. Leave it for around 15 minutes then put it in grinder and make a paste of it or you can even buy chilli paste from the store.

Take a pan pour the oil. Put the garlic into it and fry it. The colour of the Garlic should become light brown then add the onions and sauté it well. Once the onion turns to light pink put the chicken pieces into it. Now add salt according to taste. Mix it well. Add tomato ketchup, red chilli paste and mix it well. Let it cook for some time. Add soya sauce. Meanwhile in a bowl mix the corn flour with the chicken stalk. Mix the chicken stock and corn flour mix with the chicken. Cook the chicken until it’s done or till the sauce starts to thicken. Finally garnish the Garlic Chicken with Spring onion and serve it hot with Chapathi , Naan or any other Indian bread.
