A Chicken Recipe with lemon and chilli

Lebu Lonka Chicken 
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!
