Recipe: Lebu Lonka Chicken
There are times when our taste
buds behave in a strange way! Specially when we are unwell. We crave for
something spicy or tangy or chatpata! This recipe will bring that taste – tangy
and hot! Quite a simple recipe, I too have learnt it from someone. Since I love food - I love experimenting with cooking too!
You can
customize it a little, e.g I like more garlic so I put more! If don’t like
lemon, you can add a little less juice!
For the recipe you need:
- Chicken 250gm
- Onion juice (2 medium size onion)
- Garlic paste ( take 4 table spoon full)
- Ginger paste (take 2 table spoon full)
- Lemon juice (preferably use Gondhoraj Lebu / Royal Aroma Lemon 1 full)
- Pinch of sugar
- Salt according to your taste
- Curd ( 2/3 table spoon)
- Green chilli paste (as per your taste)
- Choti elaichi
- Lemon leaves
- Coriander powder (one and half spoon)
Procedure:
- Marinate the chicken with ginger paste, garlic paste, chilly paste and onion paste/ juice. Add salt and coriander power, curd and edible oil.
- Keep it in the fridge for half an hour
- Take a frying pan. Give ghee / mustard oil / white oil( I prefer mustard oil)
- Once the oil is warm give choti elaichi and then pour the marinated chicken
- You can add some more onion juice and lemon juice in it. If you want you can add red chilli power ( ½ tea spoon Kashmiri mirch for color or keep it as it is) – add sugar
- Cook it for 4/5 minutes and then give the lemon leaves. cook in a low flame
- If you feel its dry enough, you can pour half a cup of water
- Cover it with lid and let it cook for 4/5 minutes more
- Once cooked, serve with rice
P.S. there is no turmeric in this
recipe!
Hope you enjoy the recipe!
