Sunday Special Lunch With Mom's..Chicken in Garlic Sauce
One particular factor that mother insisted was the family coming together at every meal. Coming back to the Sunday lunch, mother cooked up a feast while the maid and I helped in chopping and laying the table and mother's table wares..The lunch usually extends to more than an hour after which everyone watches a movie together.
I miss those Sundays and now since I have moved back to the same city, I try my best to make it home for lunch..My daughter loves the family time too more because she is pampered to the core all because she is the first grandchild and the only one as yet…
Coming back to the special Sunday lunch, chicken in garlic sauce was one dish that we all devoured on and still crave for..I do make it when I can but am yet to achieve mother’s standard..
Note: This is not for the diet-conscious as you see the amount of oil that emanates from the chicken, but I can guarantee you that this is a good dish,,,no harm in succumbing to it once in a while..)
1 kg Chicken (boneless cut into bite-size pieces)
For Marinating
4 tbsps Oil½ tsps Pepper powder
4tbsps Cornflour
Salt as needed
2 Eggs
Marinate the chicken pieces with the marinade and reserve aside for some time.
For the Sauce
4 tbsps Chopped Garlic
2 Onions Chopped
4 tsps Chilli Powder
1 cup Water (Stock can also be used)
½ cup Tomato sauce
Salt as per taste
2 tsps Sugar
1 tsps Ajinomoto (optional)
4 tsps Vinegar
4 tbsps Cornflour
1 Cup Oil
½ Cup Capsicum chopped
Heat oil and fry the marinated chicken for a couple of minutes and remove and set aside.
To the remaining oil, add onion and saute until translucent; add in the garlic and chilli powder and saute further for a few minutes. Now add the tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar and salt and add in ajinomoto if using it…Follow this by adding in the chicken pieces.
Into the 1 cup of water or stock , stir in the cornflour and add it to the above stirring continuously until the sauce thickens. Remove from fire and garnish with chopped capsicums.
This special dish is off to Sunita's Think spice event, which is Garlic this month.
