Ever wondered how funny at times a reciepe name goes..... I say hmmm this one really has a funny name. Leaving the name aside, what we all love in food is just the taste. So come'on all why bother about the name.....! Lets dig'in the reciepe now....


Wait, wait, lets have a look at the final dish first...

Doesn't it look just yummy....?? :))
BTW,all my reciepes are tried and tested and always shared with you my friends......
So cutting my blabber short lets get straight away to the reciepe.

2large onions (chopped)
3" ginger (sliced)
1tsp garlic cloves (chopped)

Method:
Step 1- Marinate the chicken in the first seven ingrediens for about 30minutes. Then fry the marinated chicken in hot oil. Take out and keep aside.


Step 2- Heat the same oil in a pan. Fry the onions, ginger and garlic till they turn rich golden brown in colour. Take a bowl, add red chilly powder, soya sauce, tomato ketchup, tomato puree, red chilly sauce, barbecue sauce and salt and mix well. Add this mixture to the onion and fry for 2minutes.

Remove and serve with garnish of green chillies and coriander leaves with hot steaming rice.

Now thats pretty simple guys. No pain and all gain for this easy-to-cook reciepe.

Chatter: Word & more words

I have always trying to bog about the new developments of my LO. Just as we all mum's say, "24hrs is just not enough for us mothers!!" (phew....!) for our tasks, its simple we all multi-task our day dont we? And thats my daily routine all through the year now and I've been dying to take a damn break for now.

I drag into the kitchen every morning just to make a cup of tea for the both of us and that just brightens me up in the morning. Sipping my tea over a newspaper of news over the internet is a must for me. Try to just enjoy my time before the little Huda wakes up.

Once she's up its never ending time for chatter. I must say its at times bugging to hear the same thing repeated but all the way its fun to hear the low peaked voice saying so many new words daily. I was just thinking of blogging all the new words she just speaks now. Some of her Vocab includes:

FAMILY:
Nana (maternal Grandma), Da-da (fraternal Grandpa), Da-di (fraternal Grandma), Ta-Ya (father's elder brother- same for her aunt), Ma-Ma (calls me this), Un-kin(Uncle), If-fan( Irfan for her father) and not to forget her fav doll toy Et-chi (Betsy)

FOOD:
Aa-nion(Onion), hmm-mm(potato), Tar-in(carrot), Chi-ii(chilly), Ban-na(banana), Pa-yii(water-actually says pani which is in Hindi), Chi-chin(Chicken), Mun-nun(Mutton).

 ACTION:
Tamm(come), Schit (Sit), Chan (Stand), Ceep (Sleep), Jum (jump), Eat .

ANIMALS:
Daat(Dog), Tat(Cat), Dat (Duck), Baa-yee(Birdee),

APPLIANCES:
Fann (fan),Phon (phone), Bobile (Mobile)-one of her favourite words and is spoken off very often even during the first few seconds of waking up. Her all past time is just to speak, so I just dial the local 101 enquiry service and give my mobile to her and she's all Ga-Ga over the phone as if the other person is speaking to her.

ATTIRE:
Sue (Shoe), Sact (socks), Pann (Pant), Shatt (Shirt).

OTHER WORDS:
Ov-ee(Over), Ta-ta (bye), Bye, Tap-top (laptop).

Huda has also tried framing a few sentences but I just dont seem to understand them as of now. She does understand what we try and communicate to her. I have been successful in teaching her many parts of her body which she proudly shows with action: some of the parts she shows are- eyes,ears,head, leg,stomach,fingers, elbow,teeth, tongue, cheeks, chin,nose.

I've been enjoying watching her play and do the not-to-do stuff all the while now. Grrrr....she makes my home so messy......... booo hoooo....But its best time of my life,watching her grow and play and been scolded.  Now that she is growing I feel my time to relax may come soon.... :)

BUNS

Ramadan is over and the food coming home is finally halted.....Grrrrr.....!!! I'd been receiving food non-stop during ramadan and almost never cooked anything except grilling for iftar during my entire ramadan.

I've been thinking of posting all the new stuff I cooked during ramadan. Its been a while I dint peek into my blog and was busy just eating my way around. So lets gets going. I was invited for a Iftar party and one lady just had prepared this wonderful soft and mouth watering Bun's.

Ingredients:
2cups maida (small)
1tbsp Jeera seeds (cumin)
2tbsp sugar
1 big ripe banana
pinch of salt
1/4-1/2 tsp baking powder
1tbsp curd
1tsp ghee

In a bowl first lightly mash the sugar and banana till the sugar fully dissolves and banana is liquified. Add the jeera seeds to this and mix again. In another bowl, add the maida alongwith salt and baking powder and mix with fingers. To this add the banana-sugar concotion and start mixing till you get a smooth and soft dough. Add curd and mix again. Add little more maida if reequired. Let it settle for about 4-6hours. Give a good bash with some ghee in between and let it settle again for the remaining time.

Finally, roll into small roundals or any shape as you desire and deep fry in hot oil. Go ahead, try it and let me know if you liked it.
