Dry Chicken Snack- Indian

Being a Chicken eating newbie I am just about exploring my comfort zone with it...and I must say we are getting along quite well. So here I am with all the time in the world to do things I have wanted to :) Cooking fares well on the list...and I will keep adding the recipes of the ones which have turned out pretty decent so far :) even my Hubby says so :D (nopes not at gun point :P ) I have taken help from friends, family and looked online for all the recipes...and eventually it turns out to be a dish with a little twist I might feel makes the dish tastier or sometimes practically ( read ingredients missing :P ) and also a matter of convenience ( Hubby will be home early :-o).

So this is my first Chicken Snack that I tried over a web chat with my friend Mithun...who discovered  his fancy for cooking after he left for Australia....it turned out to be a cracker and could go well with the drinks, oh yea ;). So here it goes.

You would need:(all ingredients are in green...and sorry am not that good at proportions as yet)

Frozen Chicken Breast( Yup I am a starter alright ) - Microwave them for about 3 minutes or use the Auto defrost setting to break the ice! Cut them into nice cubes which would make sumptuous bites. 

For the Tadka:

Take Oil, add finely chopped green chilies, garlic and ginger...after that cooks a little...add on Curry leaves (be generous with these as it brings out a nice flavor), add salt to taste, pinch of turmeric, chopped Onions( the onions need to be bigger dices and not finely chopped).

Once the onions also go golden brown, toss in the Chicken pieces ,,,and cook it on a mid-high flame so as to let it cook good and also have a little charring(be careful not to go over the top, or you would have burnt Chicken :D) . In the end, turn off the stove, sprinkle veryyy little Chicken Tikka Masala(one of those readymade powders you get at any Indian grocery store) and put the lid and let it hold on for 5 minutes.

Tadan! Your Dry Chicken Snack is now ready....it's so simple...even I could make it :D.

Oooops: The first time I made this, I ended up sauteing the garlic for a tad bit too long...and I had to call this dish 'Burnt Garlic Dry Chicken' :D. So that could actually be another version too.

Cheers! :)
