Chicken Tikka

Chicken Tikka recipe, eat well on universal credit

We fancied a break from the Asian recipes, so we went to India for a change. Pretty close geographically, but quite a difference in the spice profile.

Ingredients:-

2 Uncooked Chicken Breasts, cubed
100ml Lactose free Milk
2 Tbsp Margarine, melted
1/ Tsp of Cumin powder
½ Tsp of Coriander powder
½ Tsp of Chilli powder
½ Tsp of Turmeric
½ a Lime, juiced
½ a Lemon, juiced
 2 Tbsp of Tomato Puree
½ Tsp of Garam Masala
20ml of Oil
Salt & White Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) Season the Chicken with Salt & Pepper.
(2) Add the Milk to a bowl and then add the Lemn and Lime juice. Stir in and let it rest for 10 minutes.
(3) Add all the remaining ingredients and combine.
(4) Pour the mixture over the Chicken and coat fully.
(5) Place in the fridge for 4 to 5 hours, preferably over night.
(6) Preheat the oven to 180c.
(7) Place the Chicken on a baking tray and cook for 20 to 25 minutes until fully cooked through.

We served ours with boiled Rice, home brewed Onion Bhaji, a Cucumber salad and popadoms.

Coeur de Porc battu recipe

Using a dodgy translation service to make something sound appealing. That’s a very old restaurant trick. But read on folks…..

We had quite a few stir-fry ingredients in as we made a stir-fry with the remaining Yellow Sticker Chicken the other day. But also loitering in the darker recesses of the freezer was a large pack of diced Pigs Heart, which cost us £1.24. Yes Pigs Heart! Well that my Vegan and Vegetarian friends gone then. Sorry….

Ingredients:-

Diced Pigs Heart
Milk
Soda Water
Self raising Flour (Gluten free for us)
Turmeric
Freshly ground Black Pepper
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt

Method:-

(1) Soak the Pigs Heat in Milk in the fridge for a couple of hours.
(2) Drain and dry on kitchen paper.
(3) Pre-heat the fryer to 180c.
(4) Mix a very think batter with the flour, seasonings and Soda Water.
(5) Add the Heart to the batter and make sure it is all well coated.
(6) Using a large kitchen spoon scoop spoonfuls of the battered Heart and drop them into the Oil. It’s a good idea to remove the basted so they don’t stick.
(7) When they rise to the surface turn them over a couple of times until the batter is golden brown on all sides.
(8) Remove each batch and drain on kitchen paper.

For those who have a dislike of all things offal (I used to be in that camp myself) just stick with the fancy French name…. You will be pleasantly surprised! We served ours over stir-fry vegetables, Potato croutons, Smoked Lithuanian Sausage bites and dressed with home brewed Kimchi!
