I confess, I am not a good cook , probably because I just don't have the patience. In India one is lucky as one can keep cooks. But the ones (yes I have more than 1 !) I have are good for the standard day to day recipes.
But my daughter is a foodie (and that's an understatement) and this required
me to cook from time to time. And I think now I am developing some interest in this. I guess Internet has a large role to play in this since there are so many recipes around and one is tempted to try some of these.
To reduce the amount of kitchen-time I only try those recipes which are easy to make and do not take much time. Slowly I started to think that it may be a good idea to list these recipes at one place..
so here I go..
Lemon Chicken Rice
This recipe originated from the recipe of lemon chicken given in my Samsung microwave cookbook. This was in the auto cook menu.
I have made some modifications and it turned out well. Specially I can make my
daughter eat some veggies too along with the chicken.
Ingredients
------------------
2 chicken leg pieces
5-6 cloves
5-6 whole peeper
1 tbsp lemon juice
1tbsp butter
salt and pepper to taste
Method
----------------
Make holes in the chicken pieces with a fork and mix butter in this. put few cloves, whole black peeper and lemon juice and salt.Marinade for 15 minutes.
Then in my microwave there is an automatic button which takes about 6 minutes for the chicken to cook.
Original recipe was this. I have a variant of this using curd if one does not
want to use microwave. One can also use breast pieces.
What I do is I boil carrots and french beans. fry onion and capcicum in butter lightly and then add the boiled vegetables. Mix it in already prepared rice and put the whole thing in the chicken, add little more butter and lemon and heat in Microwave for a minute.
In this way the juice of the chicken gets mixed with the rice and it tastes good..
I use Amul-lite for calorie watch.
You can use any other vegetable combination like green
If I have to cook it in the evening after coming from office then I usually get the vegetables cut and boiled in the morning and rice made in the morning. So that it gets done in 20 minutes.
