So the other day, Tuli and her aunt MPi invited RDi and me to their house for dinner. While the ladies were cooking in the kitchen, I was sitting in their living room with my drink, entertaining myself with their cute Persian cat :)
Tried to make him drink but he refused :P
So here is the delicious dinner that MPi along with Tuli and RDi made that night. Feel free to copy the recipes and leave your comments.
Chicken Fry.
This is MPi's very own Chicken Fry recipe, passed down from generations :D
First, take around 1.5 KG of raw chicken, medium cut, and wash them thoroughly.
Marinate it with turmeric powder and salt. Leave it for around an hour.
Heat quite a large amount of oil in a frying pan and once heated, fry the chicken. Stir occasionally until the chicken turns deep red. Take the chicken out.
Slice onions and dry in it in the pan using the same oil. Once it is crispy red, add chopped garlic and ginger, and wait for it to turn red too. Finally add sliced tomatoes, green chillies and capsicum. Let them cook for some time until it turns watery.
Add the fried chicken back into the pan, and cook it for some more time. Once it is ready, add a little bit of soybean sauce along with ajinomoto and after around another 5 minutes of cooking, the dish is ready.
Alu chop.
This one was prepared by Tuli and RDi together.
Boil potatoes and wait for them to cook. Once boiled, take them out and wait for them to cool before peeling.
Mash the peeled potatoes real good.
Add salt and pepper along with sliced onions and chopped dhania (coriander) to the mashed potatoes.
Mix them up properly, and then finally using your hands, form them into cutlet shapes.
Take 3-4 eggs and beat them. Add a little bit of salt to this as well.
Heat some oil in a frying pan.
Dip the potatoes in the egg, covering all sides, and then place it in the frying pan.
Let it fry nicely until they turn crispy red. Thada, your alu chop is ready.
Looks yummy indeed.
Bekang.
Take Bekang rep (dried fermented soybeans) and immerse them in hot water for around 5 minutes.
Chop tomatoes into tiny pieces, along with onions and green chillies. Fry them in a pan with a little bit of oil.
Once they look cooked enough, add the wet fermented soybeans and fry for a short while. (Make sure you have the Kitchen exhaust or ventilation fan on during this procedure :D )
Add salt to the mixture, and the lovely side dish / chutney is ready for consumption :)
Baibing and others.
Similary for Baibing (Alocasia fornicate), take the dried Baibing and cook it in water for some time.
Once cooked, take it out and put it in a grinder and grind it with roasted Mizo chillies. Add salt to taste. Thaadaa.
Overall, it was a great dinner and all of us ate so much. Nghaka and Marka too reached just in time to eat :)
Hope this post was useful to you.
Until my next food recipe blog update, see you all. Cheers!
