These few weeks of May were really special and inspiring time of year for anyone who loves to cook or barbeque. With the onset of June, outdoor visits to the park or the beachside becomes a nightmare with the humidity at its highest. The air around becomes hot and you just drip with sweat if you are not using an Air Conditioner. The hyper summer weather worsens this way until the end of September. The sun light starts to stream bright into your bedrooms by 5 a.m. By 7 a.m. the window screens are hot as an oven. Sun strokes are also common in this part of the year and we are always drinking copious amounts of liquids to avoid dehydration.
While the summer weather may get us down, one of the best things this time of year is the incredible produce we can get from the warmer zones of the world . The weather in Oman has been so bizarre this year that we're lucky to be getting Oman's own produces since a while. All these years Oman depended heavily on exports until recently we started seeing our supermarkets flooded with local produce. So good news for the locals because things are much cheaper than before.
Now coming to today's recipe. I have a grilled chicken recipe here marinated with pickled spices. Quite an interesting concept. Its great to be served alongside a light meal.
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 kg chicken boneless pieces
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
Salt to taste
1/2 tbsp red chili powder
1 tbsp turmeric powder
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp kalonji (onion seeds)
2 tbsp curd
1 tbsp any readymade pickle gravy (optional)
1 tbsp gram flour
1 tbsp oil
1/4 tsp fennel seeds
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds
HOW TO MAKE:
1) Grind finely all the ingredients except the chicken.
2) Marinate the chicken with the ground paste for at least 2 hours.
3) Now roast the chicken in microwave or an OTG on a griller for 12 min, but always pre heat the oven for 15 min at 250 degree.
4) Alternatively shallow fry them on a pan or use a grill pan. Serve hot.
