Spicy Indian inspired Grilled chicken

Most of the days I am really tired after a long day at work, so I just warm the left overs of the previous day and we have our dinner. But sometimes through the week, I feel the need to visit my kitchen and make something nice and kickback with a drink just to make the weekdays a little bearable. Well this one, I made on such a night.

Ingredients for Grilled Chicken:

Place these in a mortar and pestle/ grinder to make a fine powder

Black pepper- 1Tbsp
Paprika/ Red chili powder- 1Tbsp
Chipotle pepper- 1/2 tsp
Garam masala- 1Tbsp
Cumin seeds- 2 tsp
Oregano- 2 tsp
Salt- 1 and 1/4 tsp
Garlic cloves- 2 medium sized

Transfer this in a zip-loc bag, add 2 Tbsp of Lemon juice, and 2 Tbsp of Sour cream or Yogurt.

Place the Chicken breasts (450 g )into this bag and rub the contents all over them. Leave this to marinate for about 40 mins to an hour.

Transfer these onto the baking dish. Drizzle 2 tbsp of Olive oil on the surface and grill for 15 minutes in a pre-heated oven. Turn the chicken breast back side up, and drizzle with some olive oil and grill for another 10 -15 mins.

Rest for 1 minute, and serve. I garnished it with some lemon wedges and Mayo which went as a good dip with this. You could even garnish with Cilantro or Coriander.

Bon Apetit!

At Jamjar Diner's on Friendship's Day

We visited Jamjar Diner's on the first Sunday of August, also known as the Friendships day, well whatever it is called we just need a reason to meet our friends. Due to it's increasing popularity the place was packed with guests that day. But we didnt budge either, since we had zeroed in on the location beforehand. We chose to wait our turn for about 20 minutes. There happened to be about a small area in the bar section next to the big black telephone. We ordered our craft beer of Gateway Brewery whilst we waited. I ordered for a White Zen while my partner went with a Doppelganger . He is already a huge fan of their beer. The drink was very refreshing, and I absolutely adored mine. White Zen of Gateway Brewery at Jamjar Doppelganger of Gateway Brewery at Jamjar There was a huge turn up on that day,as it was a weekend.

Day trip to Pompei from Rome!

Italy for travelers is like a treasure trove! There is so much to see and absorb that time falls short. Southern Italy is known for it’s beauty- the Amalfi coast , Naples and the Island of Capri are gorgeous and cannot be missed. And in the heart of all of this, lies the 2000 year old ruins of a city named Pompei. Of course we have all heard of Pompei, of the thriving Roman city of ancient times which succumbed to the volcanic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in the 79 A.D. and the city with it’s people were buried under ash and rock. This allowed for an exceptional preservation. Although the excavations are still underway, what we get to see are marvels in architecture and art. For a traveler who has planned a few days in southern Italy, Pompei would be easily accessible. All you need to do is reach the Circumvesuviana (which is a circular train line) that runs around Naples to Sorrento. It will take you there. On the other hand for travelers (like us) who have largely planne...

Stuffed Bagel with Chicken Teriyaki

This is a double whammy of a dish. It is simply my take on a stuffed Bagel , one could stuff it with their desired kind of ingredients. I for one love the sesame crusted Bagels, to go with my Chicken Teriyaki . It is quite a simple dish, yet full of flavor and serves as a heavy snack. Stuffed Bagel ready to be eaten! A good Teriyaki sauce gives grilled chicken a rich auburn color. Our homemade version includes just the right amount of ginger to give it an equally appealing taste. While you can also use boneless breasts for this recipe, boneless thighs stay moister during grilling. MARINADE for the Teriyaki Chicken 1/4 cup Ketchup 1/4 cup Hoisin sauce 2 tablespoons Soy sauce 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar 2 teaspoons minced fresh Garlic 2 teaspoons minced fresh Ginger 2 teaspoons Sesame oil 400 g boneless, skinless chicken...
