*CORIANDER CHICKEN*

Coriander Chicken is one of the tastiest and most unusual  dishes I have ever tried. This recipe combined both the coriander seeds and coriander  leaves for an amazing blend of flavor.

The only down side is that once you start cooking, you're pretty much tied to the stove. It requires a lot of stirring, checking and adding things and so on.  Still don't let it put you off, it is absolutely fabulous. Seriously it has to be tried!

HOT & SPICY CHICKEN MASALA

One of my family's  favorite dish is this  Hot & Spicy Chicken Masala.   When I cooked a special rice, this  was little spicy since I have used bird's eye chili in it but this is optional, you may omit if you can't stand the heat but trust me this tiny chili adds  a special punch to the dish.

Looks complicated  but actually it was easy to prepare. What you need is a blender/food processor to process the ingredients until smooth but I prefer to use my pestle and mortar to do the job.

Make sure to remove the skin and trim the excess fat from the chicken.  If possible, blend the spices without water since the juice from  tomato will aid the process. Hope you'll enjoy this  Hot & Spicy Chicken Masala as much as we do!
