Hello dear readers, I’m back!
I needed a little time for my family and for myself but I’m coming back to you to take care of this blog which despite everything I was starting to miss.
For my return I offer you something to prepare a good little meal for the beautiful days to come.
On the menu :
• Tandoori Chicken
• Greek Salad
• Turmeric rice (in the absence of saffron)
The real tandoori chicken is made in a Tandoor, a kind of terracotta oven in which the dish to be cooked is enclosed in bread dough that is stuck on the wall of it.
In the absence of Tandoor, I offer you a recipe that can be done in the pan or on the barbecue.
Tandoori Chicken
Ingredients (for 4 to 6 people):
- 1kg of chicken (drumsticks or cutlets)
- 2 Greek yogurts
- 2 tbsp of lime juice
- 2 tbsp of ginger
- 5 garlic gloves
- 3 tbsp of garam masala
- 2 tbsp of chilli powder
- 2 tbsp of cumin
- 2 tbsp of coriander in powder
- 1 tbsp of salt
Preparation :
- Mix the yogurt, spices, garlic and lemon
- Marinate the chicken for 12/24h (personally I cut my chicken cutlets to the size of a bite)
- Heat the frying pan or the barbecue then place the chicken. Once it is golden brown brush the rest of the marinade and turn it over. Repeat the operation until the end of the marinade.
Greek Salad
Ingredients (for 4 to 6 people):
- 1 large tomato per person
- Chilli oil or a small hot pepper and 2 or 3 tbsp of olive oil
- 5 or 6 pitted olives to be cut into slices
- Cubes of feta at your convenience.
Preparation :
Hey it’s a salad! Cut the tomatoes and mix everything together.
Turmeric Rice
Ingredient (for 4 to 6 people):
2 glasses of rice
1 tbsp turmeric
A few unsalted roasted peanuts
(in my dish I did not put any because one of my guests is allergic)
Preparation :
Cook the rice, coarsely crush the peanuts and mix everything with the turmeric.
Enjoy your lunch !
Take care of yourself and your loved ones! See you soon !
