Chicken Pakora

Chicken Pakora recipe, eat well on universal credit

As we’re on the Indian theme at the moment….

Ingredients:-

2 Chicken Breasts, cubed
1 Onion, diced
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced to a paste
a Thumb of Ginger, grated to a paste
½ Tsp of Chilli Powder
½ Tsp of Garam Masala
¼ Tsp of Turmeric
8 Curry Leaves
6 Tbsp of Gram Flour
3 Tbsp of Rice Flour
2 Tbsp of Water
1 Egg White
Salt to taste

Method:-

(1) Add the Gram Flour, Rice Flour, Salt, Chilli Powder and Garam Masala to a bowl and mix well.
(2) Add the Garlic, Ginger and Curry Leaves.
(3) Add the Chicken and Egg White.
(4) Add enough Water the make a really stiff patter.
(5) Fry in batches at 160c until the batter is a light brown colour.
(6) Drain over kitchen paper and serve in a boat made from a lettuce leaf. (Very 1970’s, but still looks good!)

If you fry these in batches at about 160c it prevents the Egg in the batter burning and you end up with a light brown batter and succulent Chicken. Just make sure the Chicken is cooked through. We use a kitchen probe, but cutting one of the larger ones in half and checking that there is no pink in the middle will work. If you are using a probe you’re looking for 75c.

Leftovers Soup!


We have a confession to make…. We often cook far too many vegetables and also end up with bits of leftover meat. Most folk would throw these in the bin, but we’re a bit tight like that. So it all ends up in the freezer in boxes. But the freezer is not a bottomless pit.

So yesterday we had a “Soup Making Day” Nothing goes to waste here. I can’t give you exact ingredients for this soup but basically you’ll need the following.

Ingredients:-

Vegetables and meat leftovers from the freezer
2 Stock cubes
1 Wuzzer ( We got ours as a freebie via Amazon when we switched energy suppliers) – That’s a food processor to most folk.

Method:-

(1) Thaw everything you have stored in boxes.
(2) Boil 2 Stock cubes in 500ml of water.
(3) Blitz everything apart from the stock.
(4) Place in a large pan and add enough stock to make a reasonable soup liquidity.
(5) Bring to boil.
(6) If you are not going to eat today allow to cool and freeze in portions.

We have a few verbs and bits an bobs which we are growing in tubs on our balcony, so I dressed the soups up with those, a Gluten free cracker and a bit of grated Cheese. Looks good, tastes better!
