    Chinese Chicken Soup

    Generally, the Chinese version is very bland, and so my version is slightly spiced up.

    Use a large, heavy pot to cook the soup. In some oil fry a cinnamon bark and a couple of star anise. Once they become dark, add sliced onion and lots of thickly sliced ginger. Roast for a while and then add chicken bones (a whole carcass would be fine). Coat the chicken bones with the fried ingredients and then add plenty of water. Bring it to boil and then reduce flame to lowest and let it cook slowly.

    In 20 mins or so, add sliced tomato (and potato, carrot if you want). Continue cooking over small flame.

    In another 10 mins of so, you may remove some portion of the soup for cooking the chicken rice.

    Before switching off the fire, season with salt and white pepper powder.
    Top up with some sliced onion stems (vengaya thalai) when serving.

    Chicken Rice


    Wash rice (Thai fragrant rice) and then drain water completely.

    In a wok, add chicken fat (the fat off the skin) and let it melt. If necessary add some cooking oil.
    Now roast the rice in this fat, till the rice becomes translucent. Use the smallest flame.
    Remove the rice and keep it in the rice cooker.
    Add some thickly sliced ginger and cook rice using the soup above - top up with water if necessary. Add salt.
    1.5 portion of water to 1 portion of rice.

    Tauhu Salad

    For the sauce, blend fresh red chilly with an equal amount of garlic. Add about a spoon of the fat floating from the soup above. Season with salt.

    Deep fry sliced tauhu. Place on plate. Top up with thinly sliced onion, cucumber and green mango.
    Top up with the sauce above.

    Chicken in soya sauce


    Deep fry chicken pieces till light golden brown. Set aside.

    In a wok, in some oil fry a cinnamon bark and a couple of star anise. Once they become dark, add sliced onion and ginger garlic paste. Add garlic strips. and sliced red chilly.
    Once cooked add light and thick soya sauce. Top up with some water.
    Once boiling, add chopped tomatoes followed by the fried chicken pieces.
    Cook on high flame and ensure all chicken pieces are coated with the sauce.
    Do not add salt as the soya sauce is enough.


    The chicken rice set is now complete.

    today i cooked chicken curry which turned out awesome. pics provided if necessary.

    some 15 years ago, when i was a student (showing my age here), i used to work in an indian restaurant on a part time basis. this is how they make chicken korma there.


    1) rub salt on chicken to keep the meat moist. i used 1.3 kilos chicken (with bones)
    2) roughly chop 2 onions (big pieces - i.e, cut an onion into 1/8)
    3) take a bowl with water, add turmeric, chopped onions, 3 whole tomtoes - cook till the tomatoes skin peel off
    4) drain and discard the water and discard the tomato skin
    5) use a blender and grind the cooked onions and tomato - you will end up with a paste that is called a "base gravy" - most restaurants cook and store the base gravy in freezer for several days and use it for veg / chicken curries. pretty much 80% of the recipes in the restaurant are cooking using the base gravy. there is an alternate "base gravy" recipe for lamb curry / butter chicken.
    6) take a pan, add nalla ennai, add star anise, cinnamon sticks, ginger garlic paste
    7) after ginger garlic paste raw flavour is gone, add the base gravy and add chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder
    8) add chicken and some water and salt to taste
    9) cook till chicken is done - add coconut milk (just a little bit ; maybe half a cup) to it and cook for another 5 min
    10) add garam masala powder and coriander leaves, switch off the stove

    enjoy.

    Very curious to try it out.

    EDIT : I stand corrected, I overlooked that you had mentioned cumin in the recipe, just read it as I am preparing it.

    Result : Awesome taste, soft meat in a thick gravy.

    Had it with Chapathi and plain rice.
