Chicken in Spinach Cream Sauce

Like most kids, mine are very fond of chicken, but will wince at spinach. So here's something where they need to go through the spinach to get to the chicken! Some trick there!
I served this dish with red rice that they love to eat. 

Chicken Sandwhich

This is one yummy sandwhich you can have for breakfast or snack or send in lunch box. No specific measurements, use your judgement.

Chicken-Spinach HotDog- International HotDog Incident

Its party time and time for the first IIP of the year. International Incident Parties are hosted by the lovely Penny. I've enjoyed being a part of it from the very first party, it does help to stretch my culinary creativity and check out the fabulous creations across the globe. I've always attempted to make healthy versions of the challenges put forth, keeping in mind the theme of this blog.

Chicken Corn Kebabs

Chicken kebabs have been on my list for a while. I did prepare them a couple of times, but I liked this version the best and it was certainly kid certified!
Though most recipes for kebabs require chicken mince, I prefer buying chicken breast and mincing at home. I've also kept the spices low, though a classic Indian kebab would be loaded with spices. You can throw in the garam masala and chilli powder if you like it hot. The mint dipping sauce or pudina chutney is another Indian favourite and spicy enough. A good combination on a rainy day. Can be included as part of school lunch.

Fish Roe Omelette

Fish roe omelette is one dish that I have fond memories of. I tried to replicate the taste of the way in which my mom prepared this, but I wasnt successful. Mom prepared this for me on her recent visit and I realised that it wasnt so complicated after all!

Chicken Farfalle

  

 Farfalle are a type of pasta. Commonly known as "bow-tie pasta," the name is derived from the Italian word farfalla (butterfly). The "e" at the end of the word is the Italian feminine plural ending, making the meaning of the word "butterflies."

Chicken Tikka

I found this recipe for Chicken Tikka Masala in an in-flight magazine. As I browsed through it I was hooked. I felt it was a promising recipe and it turned out better than I expected. Though it is not as photogenic as I would have wished it to be, do not be deceived by the looks. This one was O so addictive and oozing with Umami. What appealed to me about the recipe is its versatility. The ingredients can be found in any part of the world, - no masalas or food colouring like in other Chicken Tikka Masala recipes I've seen.
