Green Lemon Chicken is very different and very delicious too , here in this recipe , chinese sauces and basic ingredient like coriander and lemon are added to give that much different and balance taste. In fact few days before , I happened to order lemon Chicken in one of the Restaurants , and they served this Green Lemon Chicken . As I wasn't sure about the taste , but to my surprise this dish turned out to be so delicious , that I could not resist my self from trying it at home.  Basically as we all know that chinese dishes are marinated , deep fried and then tossed in few chinese sauces and served hot . But here I have not deep fried, just pan fried my chicken and then tossed with chinese sauces , If you want to make this dish with the same old method of deep frying the marinated chicken pieces with egg , all purpose flour and cornflour , you can as it depends on you . In this Recipe there are two main Ingredients one is coriander...

Safed murgh or White Chicken is rich in texture and creamy in gravy . White Chicken is one of my those easy and quick recipes , which has scrumptious taste and looks royal too , it's an hassle free Recipe . White Chicken is cooked separately and so is the gravy , which has cashew base , and then both combined to give a rich and aromatic flavor. You can prepare it in boneless chicken or with bones , I like both the ways but my boneless chicken has to be of leg thigh. This is one of those experiments which was successful from my end. In fact after I made this white chicken 2-3 years back , my husband fell in love with my Creamy White Chicken , that every now and then he wants me to cook this. As he preferably calls it " Safed Murgha " he can have it at any day or time and I can prepare at any time , even if I am in my sleep. The last sentence was too much of exaggeration though , I know , hehehe...! But trust me at least m...

Butter Chicken Biryani , as the name says it all , is a n aromatic , flavourful and colourful  biryani which has a gravy of Butter Chicken . This Biryani is one of the best one after the authentic  chicken biryani , served with boondi raita or onion curd raita or curd mint dip . In fact I remember I first time had butter chicken biryani in one of the Mumbai 's Restaurant where they served with hung curd mint dip and I instantly fell in love with it. Since then I always serve my Authentic Biryani and Butter Chicken Biryani with hung curd mint dip. Though in Restaurants , they do not add potatoes in Biryani's , but at home I always make sure to add fried potatoes in my authentic Biryani but not in this one. Some do add potatoes in all Biryani's be it any variation or authentic ones . Here in this recipe I have not added potatoes and have tried to keep it the way they serve in Restaurants. Without much ado , here is my delicious , delectable and li...

Lemon Chicken ,  a tasty and delicious dish , is flavorful and easy to make with ingredients all easily available on your kitchen shelf. Lemon chicken is marinated with lemon juice , then roasted with few spices and fried onions in oil and lastly cooked with curd , which gives a thick gravy . As the name says it all , the main Ingredient is but ofcourse Lemon , but as you can not add alone lemon to the chicken which in turn will make the dish too sour , so I added have honey to it . In fact when initially I made , I had added sugar but then this time I replaced it , with honey and the results were better. Some add fresh sugar cane juice where as some add orange juice too to reduce the acid in lemon , but I have added honey to it . Without much ado , Here is my recipe of Lemon Chicken ....! INGREDIENTS : 750 gms chicken ( with bones )  1 lemon  2 small tsp coriander powder  1 cup beaten curd  4 -5 green chilies slit  ...
