A v rich and buttery gravy one of my favorites..!!

Step 1 – Cut boneless 1/2 kg chicken into fingershape long strips, marniate it with salt, ginger garlic paste and 2 pinch garam masala, fry them for 5-6 mins, (dnt fry completely as it would be cooked more in gravy).

Step 2 – Cut 4-5 onions roughly chopped, 4-5 tomatoes chopped tomatoes, now take a pan add 2 table spoon oil crackle 2 one inch cinamom sticks and 2 cardomoms, add cut onions, salt , saute them until brown, then add 1 tsp ginger garlic paste, cut tomotes, 1 and half tsp chilly powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 8-10 cashew(optional), 1/2 tsp cumin powder, cook it for 15-20 minutes, once the tomatoes are done, cool this mixture and grind them to a fine paste. (i prefer grinding coz it would be silky gravy to restaurant like effect.)

Ste 3 – Take around 2 tablespoon of butter in pan[can add 3 also if your not on diet 🙂 ], heat it little, then add the grinded paste prepared in step 2,so that the aroma of butter is incorporated into the gravy nicely, to this add the fried chicken prepare in step 1, and let it cook for 10 minutes.

    Snacks And More

    Recipe!
    Step 1 : chopping veggies – 1 onion, 1 capsicum(red, yellow) 1 carrot you can add Baby corn,mushroom I did not have it, so I didn’t.

    Step 2 : break five eggs add all the veggies, pizza seasoning, oregano/ basil or any Italian herb mix.

    Then add one cup of grated cheddar and mozeralla cheese, salt, pepper

    Step 3: bake or cook on stovetop – you can bake it for 20 minutes at 180 degrees, but I cooked on stovetop.

    Take a round nonstick pan arrange four brown bread slices(pan was small, so square shape bread slices were bent at the edges, giving it a round shape with firm edges 😜 😊) and pour the egg mixture, cover with very tight lid, and the flame has to be vv low. For me I didn’t notice the bread base had turn till hard. So you gals avoid this mistake. But next time I will definitely make it in oven and I recommend the same.
    Step 4: cut into slices and serve with tomoto ketchup 😋 😋 definitely hit with kids
