Welcome to My Kitchen

I started cooking 20 years ago, and every day has been a new experience. You might not believe it but i was a person who could not fry an egg...but 20 years on..i feel i can take on any challenge.

I'm constantly trying out new recipes and looking for innovative ways to improvise my dishes and make it more easier. The easier the cooking gets and the less time it takes the more time for me to relax with my loved one.
But easy and quick does not mean compromise on taste or the way a dish is presented. I take great pride in decorating my dishes as i am a firm believer of ' The first impression counts'.

I decided to start this blog to help others like me discover that cooking a feast does not require slogging for hours in the kitchen all it requires is the right ingredients, tools and a creative mind and voila! you will have your family and guests begging for second helpings....

My inspiration for cooking has always been my husband...he loves his food..and like the saying goes 'A way to a man's heart is through his stomach'..i can confidently say it's true and it works wonders for a happy relationship...but he is also my best critic and competition.

I've got two little girls both who love to eat, and my eldest always enjoys helping me in the kitchen. I will try to post more kid friendly recipes that can be fun to eat and make together.

Hope you enjoy this blog and find it useful...please do feel free to leave any feedback or comments...remember there's always room for improvement!!!

Spice Infused Chicken with Potatoes

A simple meal I cooked up using some basic ingredients



Ingredients:

6 chicken thighs, skinned and scored
2 potatoes, cut in circles
1 onion, sliced finely
handful curry leaves
2 green chillies, chopped

For marinade

1 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp crushed black pepper
1 tbsp Worcester sauce
1 tbsp hot piri piri sauce
1 tbsp paprika powder
Salt for seasoning


Method:

1. Marinate In a deep saucepan, heat oil, fry green chillies, onions and curry leaves. Fry onions until lightly golden.

2. Add the marinated chicken ( it must be kept marinating atleast for 30 mins). Fry the meat lightly to seal the juices. Add the potatoes and stir well.

3. Add in little water (1/4 cup), just to make a little sauce. Stir well and check seasoning. Cover and cook until chicken is tender. Serve hot.
