Semi Dry Chicken Gravy Recipe




Yummy looking isn't it. Taste real good with butter Chapatti.


Look at the dart board, used as a back ground. Amateur Photography haha.
Recipe will be updated soon.

The Recipes:

This is a Onion Based Gravy.
4 medium sized onions for 1 kilo chicken.
More onions and the dish will be sweetish. Go ahead if you want your chicken sweet :)


For the garnish:

Add 1 tsp Dhania Powder
Add 1 tsp Jeera Powder.
Add 1 tsp Chilli Powder.
Add half tsp haldi Powder.
Add 1 tsp garlic Crushed.
Add 1 tsp ginger Crushed.
Salt to taste.
1 tsp vegetable Oil.
Mix well and keep in fridge or outside for 2 hours.

4 Onions finely chopped Keep Aside.

Heat Oil in a Wok. I always cook my chicken in a Wok or Kadhai.
The bottom of the cooking vessel has to be thick so that heat distributes evenly.

I use about 3 TBS vegetable oil. Should be enough.
A trick to cook in less oil. Only fry 1/3rd of the onions. Put the rest later.

Crackle 1 tsp jeera and mustard seed in the oil.
Add about one onions portion from the chopped onions and fry till golden brown.

Add 5 green chillis sliced in halves.
Fry for 30 seconds in medium heat.
Add rest of the onions and fry for couple of minutes.
Increase the heat.

Add the chicken and Quickly mix.
Let it mix well. Stir well, such that all the chicken pieces are turned.

Cover the vessel and cook for 15 minutes in low heat.

Now open the lid, and increase heat.
Add 2 tomatoes finely chopped(Optional).
Cook till most of all the juice from the curry have evaporated.
Keep Stirring/mixing.
Add 1 tsp of off-the-shelf Chicken masala.
Cook for couple of minutes after you add masala.

Garnish with coriander for better smell.
I didn't.. Ran out of coriander :)
Bachelor's kitchen you see!!

Bye-bye to high calories snacks at school

Good news for hundreds of parents of elementary and middle school kids. Congressman have asked the Institute of Medicine to to recommend new standards for school snacks and foods that sharply would limit calories, fat and sugar. This means that schools would have to offer healthier foods including those that are sold in the vending machines.

The new foods will include:
Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nonfat or low-fat dairy among others

Negative Calories Foods

In order for your body to process foods, it needs at least 100 kcal to digest your food. Some fruits such as apple, cranberries, orange and mango are considered negative calories foods or what is most often known as "wonder foods".

Healthy kids in Florida

According to the Sun-Sentinel, lawmakers are persuading a bill in which schools will be required to offer physical education or PE every day. I think it would be very beneficial for children to learn the importance of practicing a sport and to become good at it, since we have seen little kids suffering from diabetis and other health related problems such as obesity, to the lack of exercise and healthy eating habits.

Steve's expresso = Unhealthy FAU's coffee shop

Like most of the students at FAU, we rely on the little cafeteria that FAU's Fort Lauderdale campus has. To my misfortune, Steve's Expresso only sell high calorie foods, like pizza, hamburgers, and sandwiches. But, I found an interesting way of saving calories. First, if you like wraps or sandwiches, try to get whole wheat bread or wraps, the difference between whole wheat and white bread is 62 kcal. If you like cheese I suggest you to have an American cheese which contains 369 Kcal less than the Provolone cheese, same when deciding whether to buy a diet soda versus the regular.

For snacks, I highly suggest you to eat an apple which contains 70 Kcal, this fruit is actually a negative calorie food, this means that instead of adding calories to your body it actually helps you lose some.

Chinese food is bad for you


I always thought that Chinese food wasn't as bad as eating McDonald's or BK, but to my surprise Chinese food contains more calories in a meal that someone needs the entire day. For instance, an egg roll contains 200 calories, cup of rice has another 200 calories, a plate of stir-fried green has 900 calories, six steamed pork dumplings has 500 calories; this meal contains about 1,800 calories and an adult is supposed to eat 2,000 calories a day! So, if you still want to eat Chinese food once in a while, I suggest that you only eat half of everything and take the other half home.

Stay healthy!

Vitamins aren't always good


Hello guys,


In a recent scientific study on vitamins it was discovered that some of these vitamins that are often recommended by our doctor such as Vitamins A, E and beta carotene supplements to prolong life, may shorten lifespan.

I usually do not take any vitamins, but I know a lot of people that do it; so if you take vitamins or know someone that does it, pass the this article along.

Muvico: the unhealthy palace

I try to go to the movies at least two or three times a month, and every time that I go, I wish they sold snacks that were healthier. If your first stop is the concession stand, here are some nutritional information about the products that people often buy.

Popcorn (Small)
400 Calories
Popcorn Shrimp (Serving 3 oz)
280 Calories
Nachos with Cheese (Small)
554 Calories
Soft Pretzel
483 Calories
Hot Dog with Bun
305 Calories

Let's see, if you buy a portion of nachos with cheese (554 cal) plus a bottle of coke (239 cal), your injecting to your body 793 calories just on snacks.
My recommendation is, if you want to have a snack while watching a movie, share a small portion of popcorn and drink water, this way you will feel satisfied and after the movie you can enjoy a real meal.

Florida Renaissance Festival = Junkie food

Last Saturday I went to the Renaissance Festival and I had tons of fun, except when I got hungry and wanted to eat right away. The problem with these types of festivals, is that they don't offer a variety of foods, and one has to eat whatever they sell. If you are on strict diet and do not want to cheat, I advise you pack a sandwich at home before you head to the Renaissance Festival. But, if you happened to forget to bring your own lunch, and you're hungry and you can't wait, try these tips that will help you to keep your lunch under 500 calories.

  1. Don't drink soda, instead drink water.

  2. If you're going to eat a hamburger, eat just the meat and with some french fries (you still need your portion of carbohydrates)

  3. if you're going to eat an ice-cream or any type of dessert, order the smallest portion.


Have fun!

How healthy is Jamba Juice?


If you think that by replacing a meal with a Jamba Juice smoothie will "save" you calories, you're wrong, unless you are having a Jamba Light which contains 250 calories, you will not save calories but gain.

Here is the nutrition information for a regular size Banana Berry and a regular size light Strawberry Nirvana:

Banana Barry (Regular)
450 calories
106 g of carbohydrates
93 g of sugar
105 mg of sodium

Strawberry Nirvana (Light)
250 calories
55 g of carbohydrates
46 g of sugar
270 mg of sodium

But you could save even more calories, if instead of ordering a regular size, you order small size with skim milk, and sugar substitutes like splenda.

Here is a complete list of Jamba Juice's nutritional information.

¡A su salud!

6 p.m. happy hour time!

Most of the alcoholic beverages that we drink are high in calories, and we all know that one drink usually doesn't set the mood. So, if you usually have more than three drinks when you go out, you may start gaining weight a lot faster if you don't exercise and eat right.

I'm not trying to tell you that drinking in high quantities is OK but if you do drink: 1. drink responsible, and 2. at least drink alcoholic beverages that are low-sugar or carbohydrate-free.

Some suggestions are:

Beer -- a regular Budweiser contains 145 calories; you may want to try Bud light which contains 110 calories.

Wine -- one (1) small wine glass (4 fl.oz) contains 90 calories, as opposed to an 8 fl.oz. glass that has 180 calories

Cocktail mixers -- a Margarita has 150 calories and a Piña Colada has 325.

Sugar-Free Margaritas

1 jigger (1.5 oz) tequila
2 Tablespoons (1 oz) lime juice - bottled more convenient, fresh tastes a lot better
1/4 cup (4 Tablespoons) water
1/4 teaspoon orange extract
1 Tablespoon's worth artificial sweetener (I like to use liquid, carb-free types)
Ice - small handful
Margarita salt or kosher salt


Here is a list of the most popular alcoholic drinks that contains high calories:

Martini: 135 cal
Mojito: 160 cal
Cosmopolitan: 215 cal
Tequila Sunrise: 200 cal
Red Wine: 80 cal
White Wine sparkling: 95 cal
Most regular bears: from 150 cal to 200 cal.

Have fun and don't drink and drive.

¡Salud!

Eating the right stuff

Dietitians say that a good meal is a balanced one. What does this mean? It means that you should eat everything: fruits, veggies, grains, meat and fats. The key is choosing the right healthiest item from each group.

Health Castle, a Web site dedicated to nutrition, recommends that a healthy meal should include the following elements:

Fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products.

Lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs and nuts.

Low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt, and added sugars.


DON’T GIVE IN WHEN YOU EAT OUT AND ARE ON THE GO

It’s important to make smart food choices and watch portion sizes wherever you are—at the grocery store, at work, in your favorite restaurant, or running errands.
Try these tips: • At the store, plan ahead by buying a variety of nutrient-rich foods for meals and snacks throughout the week. • When grabbing lunch, have a sandwich on whole-grain bread and choose low-fat/fat-free milk, water, or other drinks without added sugars. • In a restaurant, opt for steamed, grilled, or broiled dishes instead of those that are fried or sautéed. • On a long commute or shopping trip, pack some fresh fruit, cut-up vegetables, string cheese sticks, or a handful of unsalted nuts—to help you avoid impulsive, less healthful snack choices.*

Facts sheets on nutrition

What is a healthy weight?

Most of us have asked ourselves what's the healthiest weight for me. People have mistakenly related being skinny with being healthy. That is not completely true because your weight has various components such as height, age, and bone structure.

It is very important to keep close attention to your weight in order to avoid weight-related diseases such as Coronary Artery Disease, Sleep Apnea, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and strokes.


In order for you to find out whether your weight is healthy or not, you need to know your Body Mass Index (BMI) and that is calculated by using this equation:

BMI = 703 mass (LB) / height² (in²)
Below 19 = Underweight
19-24.9 = Healthy Weight (Low Health Risk)
25-29.9 = Overweight (Moderate Health Risk)
30-40 = Obese (High Health Risk)
Over 40 = Morbid Obesity (Very High Risk)

How to make paneer, Homemade paneer!

This a Part repost, part recap Blog post!

How to make Paneer at home?
Fresh Paneer that you can use to cook mouth watering dishes like Palak Paneer ,or the reason this post was made about a year back. Mattar Paneer, or Paneer with green peas.
I started that post with the lines "The secret of making paneer unvieled!!!" And BTW, the layout for my new blog is almost ready.. Just a little tweaks here and there and we will be in our new distination soon. All fresh posts in there.. No importing of posts.. I just can't have the thought of deleting this blog. Some dishes I will cook again and repost even, for new readers who are too lazy to browze the archives..




The picture above is of the paneer, prepared myself. Turned out quite easy. Otherwise it wouldn't have been posted on Bachelor Cooking!
I had prepared it with inspiration from Atabela..

This is quite simple, simple enough for green horn cooks.

And it was indeed tastier than the Dairy manufactured Paneers that we buy.

Steps:

Boil Milk in a vessel.

* I boiled 1 litre of milk for the purpose.. and The ball above is just about the size of a Cricket Ball, so if you want a bigger Ball, get two litres. I eat alone so It was enough for me.

Boil Milk in low heat ( Low heat so that the milk don't spill, no use crying over spilt milk right?) Boil until about 1/4 or a quarter of the milk has evaporated has evaporated.

When 3 quaters of the milk remain, squeeze some lime juice.

OK put pre-squeezed lime juice. For 1 litre of milk, it took s table spoons of freshly squeezed juice to get all the milk solidify or coagulate. (For more milk use more lime).

The milk will now start to coagulate. That is what we wanted. When you see that the solid and watyre has separated, remove the vessel from heat.

Now lay a muslin cloth like the seen in the picture above over the mouth of another vessel, and pour the milk over it so that only the solid if caught in the cloth.

gather up the sides of the cloth and hold it like a sack or purse.

When you have gathered the sides on the top, hold tight and turn the solid below, so that the cloth tightens over the solid milk or paneer.

(**Now, hot water will squirt from the mesh in the cloth and it will be really hot, so do the tightening under a running water tap.)

Hand the sack for sometime, and then Open..

If you want to cook it, you make cut them into cubes as below.


Deep fry the paneer cubes slowly and slightly till the color below. It makes for much better mattar paneer, paneer Masala or any paneer dish.

Fry just till this brown.. Is it golden brown?
