Butter Chicken Tikka




This super flavorful tikka recipe is a must try! I especially since the lovely winters are around the corner, this one recipe will top your list for bbq recipes. 

Usually for butter chicken, people like to smoke the chicken for that added tandoor/ coal flavor, I somehow dislike the homemade version of smoking chicken (which is by placing an aluminum sheet in the shape of a bowl and placing a small piece of hot coal) and pouring some oil/ ghee and closing the lid in the container with the marinated meat. 

So if you like this flavor, you may give it a try! Anyhow, I haven’t included it here in my recipe. The recipe is super simple! Also, this tikka is best for meal prep. I prep in the weekend and store in the freezer and use it up during busy weekdays.

Let’s see how it’s done..also..the more the masala sits, the better !! 



Ingredients:



  • 500 gms Boneless Chicken, cubed
  • 2 cloves of Garlic
  • 1 small piece of Ginger
  • 1 small Green Chilli 
  • 2 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp Cream
  • 3 tsp Kashmiri Chilli powder
  • 1/4 tsp Garam Masala powder
  • Dried Fenugreek leaves, a pinch 
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper powder
  • 1 tsp Honey
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice
  • Salt, as required 
  • 1-2 tbsp Melted Butter
  • Kashmiri Chicken powder, if required 
  • Coriander leaves, chopped
  • Wooden skewer, soaked in water for 15-20 minutes

Instructions:

  1. In a small grinder, grind all the ingredients except for lemon juice, butter and coriander leaves.
  2. In a bowl, add in the cubed boneless chicken and add in the masala paste and combine with some lemon juice, melted butter and chopped coriander leaves and marinate well for 4-6 hours or overnight.


  3. Take the marinated piece of chicken and add it on to the skewer (you may add veggies of your choice in between too, like cubes of onion/ capsicum).
  4. Airfry/ Bake/ Shallow fry for 15 minutes on 200 degrees Celsius.

Almond Waffles 



Almonds being rich in protein and other nutrients is the best alternative to the staple all purpose flour, nutrition wise and taste wise too! 

Ever since I started making waffles using almond, there is no going back! The nutty flavor from the almonds and the buttery goodness with the crispy texture is the best bet you could get! 

Making waffles doesn’t involve any rocket science, that is if you follow my fool proof waffle recipes! 😉
Enjoy your waffles warm with a drizzle of honey/ maple syrup/ agave nectar or any sauce of your choice! 

Ingredients:

  • 1 egg white, large egg
  • 1/2 cup Almond Flour
  • 2 tbsp Corn Flour
  • 1/4 cup Almond milk/ Cow’s milk
  • 2 tbsp Almond Butter/ Cashew Butter
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Essence
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • Honey, as required 

Instructions: 

  1. In a bowl, beat egg whites until almost stiff peaks.
  2. In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients like Almond Flour, corn flour, baking powder, salt.
  3. In a microwave safe bowl, add in the unsalted butter, Almond butter, vanilla essence and microwave for around 5-10 seconds until melted.
  4. Into the bowl with flour, add in the melted butter and the almond milk, honey and combine well. 
  5. Finally, fold in the egg whites gently. 
  6. Heat a waffle maker and spray the waffles plates with oil/ butter and pour in 1/4 cup of batter to the waffle plate and allow to cook for 10-12 minutes depending on your waffle maker. 

  7. Simply remove the crispy waffles onto a serving plate and enjoy warm with your choice of sauces and toppings! 


Ps: You can make ahead these waffles and store them in the freezer and reheat in a toaster or if in oven broil it and get back it crispy state! 
Makes a great recipe for school lunch boxes too!

Hollandaise Sauce Recipe



Hollandaise sauce needs some precision, which makes it feel like a difficult sauce to crack, but all you need is a knack for temperature control. 

I like to make my Hollandaise sauce using the double boiling method (where a pot with water is almost boiling and a bowl is placed over the pot). Add the egg yolk in the bowl and place the bowl over the pot once you see signs of water starting to boil, next add a little lemon juice, and once the egg yolk reaches a temperature of 55 deg C (if you do not have a thermometer, a visual indicator is tiny bubbles on the edges of the egg yolk). Immediately pour the melted butter, little at a time and whisk well, till you get a pale coloured sauce. 

Here, I have used Whole wheat Sourdough slices are toasted with some butter and topped with sautéed mushrooms in some butter/ olive oil along with a dash of soy sauce, salt and pepper. Topped with slices or mashed avocado and finally topped with a perfectly poached egg and served with Hollandaise sauce 🤌🏼 

Hollandaise sauce can be used as topping on poached eggs, meat, grilled veggies or chicken and fish or also for eggs Benedict! Enjoy warm and immediately!

Ingredients: 

  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • 60 gms Butter, melted
  • Salt and pepper as seasoning 


Instructions: 

  1. Double boil your egg yolk (make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the boiling hot water) and start whisking, when you see the bubbles in the sides of the water boiling, put the heat on simmer and you will start to notice bubbles on the sides of the egg yolk, gradually add the melted butter little at a time, and allow the butter to emulsify with the egg yolk while rapidly and continuously whisking to get a pale yellow sauce (make sure to whisk rapidly, or else too much fat can cause the sauce to split) 
  2. Can use seasonings if required.

Ps: I like my Hollandaise sauce semi thick, if you want a more drippy consistency add around a total of 100 gms melted butter for 1 large egg yolk and approx 1 tbsp lemon juice. 

Hollandaise has to be served immediately but if you want to serve it later you might as well store it in a preheated vaccum thermo flask.

Butter Egg Masala 




Out of ideas for breakfast/ dinner?! Try this luscious and delicious butter egg masala and Thank me later! It’s so easy to prepare, it’s like my go to curry when I am out of ideas and other ingredients 😁 

The steps are pretty much like a rich and India’s own Butter Chicken Masala (psst, my butter chicken parcels are always a hit! Try it out, and let me know how it goes!)

What I like about this recipe is that all those veggies are just roughly chopped, as they are anyways going to be made into a paste, so not precision chopping required. It’s all so quick and easy! Once the gravy is done, and in the your cream and crack in your eggs ( or add in your hard boiled eggs, that are slightly slit on the sides and fried in some turmeric, chilli powder and salt, if that’s how you like it, I like mine just cracked into the butter masala) and voila! Your Butter Egg Masala is ready! It’s that easy! 😍😋

Pair it hot with some chappati so, poori, bhatura etc and enjoy!!

Ingredients: (makes for two)

  • 1 medium Onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 medium tomato, roughly chopped
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 really tiny piece of ginger (you don’t want it to overpower)
  • 1 + 1 tbsp Butter 
  • 1 green Chilli
  • 8-10 Cashews
  • 8-10 Raisins
  • Ketchup (optional, as required)
  • 1 tsp Kashmiri Chilli powder
  • Dried Fenugreek leaves, a pinch 
  • A drizzle of fresh cream (any sugarless cream will do)
  • 2-3 Eggs
  • Coriander leaves, for garnish 

Instructions: 

  1. In a pan, add in your blob of butter and sauté your chopped onions and once translucent add in your chopped tomatoes, ginger garlic, green chilli, cashews and raisins and close the lid. 
  2. Add in a tbsp of water and allow them to get mushy on low flame. 
  3. Once mushy, allow to cool a bit, once touchable, add the sautéed veggies to a blender and blend to a smooth fine paste. 
  4. Next in the same pan, add in a blob of butter and add in a teaspoon of Kashmiri chilli powder for that extra color and mix well. 
  5. Next, add in the paste to the pan and pour some water or milk to adjust the consistency and add salt and ketchup as required.
  6. And add in a pinch of dried fenugreek leaves and allow to come to a slight boil.
  7. Finally pour in the cream and crack in the eggs and cook covered until desired consistency of egg and garnish with chopped coriander leaves. 
  8. Enjoy hot with chappati, poori, bhatura etc!
