Jugaad receipe of the month..

Palak Chicken:
Jugaad is a north-indian term, a colloquial word (I've heard it a lot in Delhi) that means an innovative fix or easy or quick arrangements not following thorough processes.. Jugaad receipe means any easy to cook meal. I've tried out Palak Chicken.. turned out.. well.. edible and fairly good. Pesh hain receipe:
Chicken: 1/2 kg
Ginger-Garlic paste: approx: 5 tbsp
Curd: 200 gms
Green chillies: 6-7
Coriander leaves: a bunch
Palak: 150 gms
Oil for frying
Onions: 2 large chopped
Salt to taste
Method: Marinate chicken in ginger-garlic paste and keep aside. Boil the palak in cooker. When done, remove it and grind to a paste with green chillies and coriander leaves.
Heat Oil and add chopped onions, fry till they turn brownish in colour. Then add the marinated chicken and allow to cook for some time. Pour into this the spinach paste, cook for five minutes and add beaten curd and salt to taste. Cook for some more time till chicken is done.
This dish tastes best with rice however I liked it with paranthas too...
So what are u waiting for.. try it for yourself..and of course any feedback is welcome :)
