Sundays… a day for indulgence in something other than your regular weekday fare. So when I saw that I had half a kg of frozen chicken lying in the freezer, I put my thinking cap on and…. Voila! Today’s lunch comprised of Pan-fried Garlic Chicken served on a bed of Burnt Onion Coriander Butter Rice. A continental recipe made with minimum spices having maximum flavour. Different from our usual Indian-style masalas, this dish can be called an amalgamation of tastes… the rice being inspired from our Indian Biryani Rice somewhat. Do try this out and leave me a comment in the review section! Waiting to hear your thoughts and views….
