Chicken 65 Happy friendship day wishes to all bloggywood foodies!!!!

I learnt some traditional dishes from my mother, but not very good at it. After my marriage, I came to USA last November and started cooking on my own. If I were in India my mother or mother-in-law would have helped me, but here I have to learn on my own(thats so sad!!!!!). First I used to follow youtube videos by vahchef and now Im able to cook on my own. I love the way how he explains and explores the dish. He is always ready, right from history of the dish under lime light to share with us. Thank you vahchef for your yummy recipes. So, now how this dish got its name is a big question mark for every one, out of several myths vahchef reviled the original story behind the name of the recipe. This chicken 65 originated in a military canteen in Tamilnadu(one of the state in south India) and this recipe used to be the 65th item in the menu list and every one used to order it as "chicken 65". That was a lovely story, now coming to the recipe.

Ingredients:
Chicken cleaned and chopped to medium size cubes-1/4KG
Oil for deep fry
egg 1
pepper powder-1tbsp
salt to taste
red chili powder-1/2tbsp
Aginamoto-1/tbsp
Ginger garlic paste-1tbsp
Green chili-3 in number
Corn flour-1tbsp
curry leafs-1 spring
Ginger grated-1tbsp
Garlic minced-1tbsp
cilantro/coriander and onions for garnishing
lemon juice for extra flavor

Directions:
Mix egg, pepper powder, little salt,ginger garlic paste, aginamoto, corn flour and chicken and deep fry the marinated chicken pieces. Keep them aside. Now take a pan and heat 2tbsp of oil and add ginger, garlic saute until raw flavor goes away, add green chili and saute it till they are completely done, then add some red color if you wish. (to prepare red color take 2tbsp of water and add 1/4pinch of color and dissolve well). Then add salt and red chili powder and mix well, cook for few minutes under simmer. Now the chicken 65 is ready to serve with lemon juice & onions.

Hope you all like my recipe...plz follow my blog and visit again :)

Follow the Sourdough Day 7 We Knead Bread

I wanted to upload this video as soon as it was ready, so I will add more info to this post as needed.

The photo you see here is me testing whether the dough had received enough kneading. Some refer to this as the "window pane test," but I call it the "stretching dough over a flashlight test." Enjoy!

My sourdough bread recipe:
2 cups sponge
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
2 tbsp olive oil
between 2 1/2 and 3 cups flour
*let rise until doubled in size - between 6 and 12 hours

Todays the Day Tomorrows the Way

Im up to my ears in misenplace, and will be incognito until tomorrow, when I will share this 24-item tasting menu via video, photos, and text. Until then, grab a slice of pizza, and enjoy the day like its the last day you will be able to taste garden-ripened tomatoes this year. Some slices are such sweet sorrow.

Last Minute Valentines Day Dinner Ideas Keep it Simple Cupid!

"Cupids Span" Photo (c) grahamc99

Were not going to judge you, much. Sure, you had weeks to plan a nice dinner for that special someone, but you waited until today to actually figure out what youre going to serve. And, since you dont really know how to cook, youre now panicking wondering what you can possibly pull off without a practice run. Nice going.

Relax, we have you covered. Here are some very sexy main course ideas that can be pulled off by even the most inexperienced cooks and lovers (those two things usually go hand in hand). Just click on the recipes title, and youll be swept away to the original post, where the rest will be up to you and cupid.

I want to wish you all a very happy Valentines Day. Remember, food IS love. Enjoy!

Pistachio Crusted Rack of Lamb

Besides all the great opportunities for double entendres using the word "rack," this is a simple piece of meat to cook. If youre lucky enough to have a Valentines date that enjoys a nice big piece of red meat, this is a fabulous choice.

Also, one rack makes two perfectly sized portions, which will work out nicely unless you have some things planned we dont know about. And if you do, please keep them to yourself.

Garlic Ginger Salmon

I use this amazingly simplistic sauce on a piece of grilled salmon in the video, but it will work for any cooking method. If you are comfortable pan searing or broiling a piece of fish, this super sexy sauce will take it (and maybe you) to another place.

I get so many emails about how much people love this recipe – so you can go forward with confidence. By the way, confidence is a proven aphrodisiac.

Penne Pasta with Spicy Sausage Ragu

This bowl of pasta passion is so easy, so delicious, and so satisfying, youll forget your trying to make someone fall in love with you. Which is perfect since that always makes it much more likely to happen.

Be sure to find out if your date likes spicy foods before pulling out the sausage for this recipe. It can also be made with milder, sweet Italian sausage. Another tip: buy and use Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, to show them youre serious.

Spicy Shrimp and Grits

Shrimp and grits is a very simple recipe, as long as you get all your prep done before you start cooking. The shrimp only take a few minutes to sauté, so you dont have time to run around chopping scallions or juicing lemons.

Once everything is assembled, this recipe is a snap. You can make the grits a bit ahead, since they stay hot a very long time – [insert your own special Valentines "they stay hot a very long time" reference here!]
