Finally an experiment that succeeded!

If you've been following my blog you would know that I had tried my hand at cooking last weekend. And after the monster failure that had been I had decided not to try my hand at cooking until I got my hand on some Indian spices. Keeping that decision in mind, I ordered the Maharaja Meal at Rasoee on Friday night. The reason I picked it was that they give 6 curries with rice and naan. So all I'd need to finish the rice and naan would be 3 curries, leaving 3 more for the next meal. And that's what I had for lunch yesterday.

I thought I'd apply the same strategy to dinner and headed out to Rasoee at 8 pm, only to find that they were closing and they were out of everything. So I headed back home and had fried chicken with bread. And I was left with the option of either cooking my own lunch for today or going to Quiznos and picking up a sub.

After a lot of coaxing from dad I decided to give cooking another shot. But I did not follow his and mom's recipe. This is what I did:

Fried Chicken -- Nikhil style

Ingredients:
4 chicken thighs
3 tea spoons of chili powder
1/2 an onion
1 tomato
coconut to garnish
oil
a dash of tabasco sauce
3 tea spoons of chili vinegar mix
1.5 teaspoons salt

Directions:
Pour out a substantial amount of oil into a frying pan. Add the chopped onions and saute it until the onions turn light brown. Chop the chicken into small cubes and add the chicken to the pan. Stir fry for 2 minutes. Add the chili powder and stir. After 2 more minutes, add the chopped tomato and the coconut to the pan and stir. Cover the pan with a lid and let the chicken cook for 10 minutes on a medium flame. There is no need to add water, the chicken will cook in its own fat and the oil. After 10 minutes, add the tabasco sauce, the chili vinegar and the salt and stir. Let it cook for another 5 minutes, and take it off the stove.

And its ready to serve!!

Of course, this does no good to your health due to the high cholesterol and spices, but its good to have once in a while!
