MEAT DISHES

MEAT PICKLE

Calin's Kitchen Leave a comment

Starting to blog after a long pause with a meat pickle recipe which could be made with any meat.The first choice will be beef/veal.

This is a spicy,addictive and tasty pickle .If you are person with less time in your hands, just slip in these meat pieces in a wrap/ sandwiches .You could also make a rough mince of these pieces and add to make a quick bite.

The meat can be cooked in a pressure cooker till tender and then fried/or cut into tiny pieces and fried in oil before adding the spices.The level of oil should be slightly above the meat level to store for a longer time.If you find that the meat has sucked up the oil ,after it has cooled ,heat a little more oil and pour over the pickle and mix well.

Now to the recipe..

QUAIL GINGER MASALA

Calin's Kitchen Leave a comment

Quail or kaada (Tamil) is a small bird with low cholesterol levels and high health benefits.

Even though they are small in size, they are comparatively rich in proteins similar to other animals.

They are a good source of iron,vitaminB6,VitaminB3 and zinc.

Today’s recipe is a masala with lots of ginger, slightly sweetened.

Before adding the meat to the masala it is slightly tossed in oil to seal its juices.Cooking freshly cleaned

meat is best, but if you have no option of getting fresh meat, thaw the meat well before you cook .

Now to the recipe

INGREDIENTS

5-6 quails cleaned and cut into 2

For the marinade

1 tsp chilli powder

1 tsp ginger-garlic paste

2-3 tbsp curd

juice of 1 lemon

salt

2-3 onions chopped fine

2-3 tomatoes

1-2 tsp kashmiri chilli powder

1/2 tsp garam masala powder

1 tsp saunf /fennel seeds

2 tsp cummin seeds

3 inch piece ginger

1 tbsp jaggery or sugar

1 tsp coarsely ground pepper

salt to taste

gingerly oil or coconut oil 3/4 cup

curry leaves

METHOD

First marinade the meat for minimum 20-30 minutes.

Grind the tomatoes, ginger ,saunf, and cummin seeds and set aside.

Heat oil in a thick kadai or wok and drop in the cut meat.(do not discard the marinated masala).

Fry the meat till the colour changes and set aside.

Remove half of the oil and add the onions with salt and sugar.

Saute till onion turns light brown.

Next add the Kashmiri chilli powder, the ground paste, and cook till oil separates and tomato is well

blended and mushy.

Now add the fried meat and the remaining marinated masala and cook till the masala coats the meat

well.(Quail meat cooks quick ).

Add the pepper powder and curry leaves and remove from fire.

CARAMELISED MEAT ROAST RICE

Calin's Kitchen Leave a comment

This rice recipe is an innovation by me. The amusing part was …only after a day I was able to decide the

title to this dish.

It’s not like blowing my own trumpet, the only thing I could say about this recipe is that it was an excellent

dish, served for a Sunday lunch.

You have to cook the rice in coconut milk with mint separately, and the roasting of the meat with lots of

onions separately. Then pour the curry in the centre of the rice and allow a little heat (optional)for just

2-3 minutes and serve.A salad accompanied is good to serve with.

I used 2 pressure cookers to cook the rice and the meat.Chicken,mutton or any meat can be used to

make this rice.

If you are using chicken,i would suggest to partially fry and then add to the caramelised onions.

Do try this recipe and post in your comments and how you liked it.

BAO BUNS (2 types of fillings)

Calin's Kitchen Leave a comment

Bao buns or steamed buns are extracts from

the Chinese cuisine.

Steamed buns can be stuffed with savoury and

sweet fillings .Check link …

https://calinskitchen.wordpress.com/2018/11/20/steamed-buns/?preview=true

This dough recipe is the same as in the link .( click link above for dough recipe )

Just including variations of the filling .This bao

bun has to flattened and shaped like a

semicircle ,steamed with a tiny parchment

paper in between the folds , or cut after

steaming and the filling placed inside .

I love making these buns, for the texture and

taste .

The first variation is a Spiced Paneer Bao

This needs no recipe . Whatever spicy chilli

sauce you have,can be tossed in with the

paneer and used as stuffing,with a little

vegetables of your choice .

2.Used the ‘Caramelised onion and meat

bilimbi pickle for the second variation.

Both were awesome !Do try and post in your

valuable feedback!

CARAMELISED ONION,MEAT +BILIMBI PICKLE

Calin's Kitchen 1 Comment

The bilimbi fruit is a sour fruit , which could be

used as a substitute for tamarind or tomato.

This fruit is commonly found in South- East

Asian countries,like Indonesia,Malaysia

Sri -Lanka and India.

My routine in the mornings is,to stroll around

my terrace garden,after coffee.

I have a year old bilimbi plant which produces

only few fruits.

Due to rains,I couldn’t go up the terrace for 2

days.

Today I went to grab a few mint leaves,and

unexpectedly ,I saw 2 bunches of the fruit .

You can never express the joy of plucking the

produce from your garden, whether it be a

flower, fruit or herbs.

Happily I plucked them,and thought to make

Seeni sambol ( caramelised onions spiced).

That minute I decided to add meat and make

something like a pickle .Tried a small quantity,

as I have never tried bilimbi in a pickle.

Purely my idea and innovation,trust me it was

excellent. This can be used as a filling for buns

or wraps or served with rice.

Do try this recipe and post in your comments!

other meat .

brown,and set aside.

CHICKEN SHAWARMA WITH WHEAT FLOUR WRAP

Calin's Kitchen 2 Comments

Shawarma is a middle eastern dish which is

similar to a frankie.

Ideal for a lunchbox,or anytime snack or meal.

I tried the wrap with pure wheat flour ,and

amazingly there seemed to be no difference at

all.

The filling was made with stir fried chicken

and leeks.Took a small portion of the cooked

chicken,and shredded to add to the taste.

For the garlicky mayonnaise I made a vegan

mayo, which I found on the Internet .

That was absolutely delicious with ground

cashewnuts,and no one knew it was made with

cashews,till I revealed.😀

You could add pickled vegetables with the

filling.I added finely sliced red cabbage,onions ,

tomatoes tossed with salt.You could add lettuce

or any accompaniment you prefer .

Recipe for the filling can be your preference,

roast,grilled,or stir fried meat .

Now to my version of home made shawarma!

INGREDIENTS

For the wheat flour wrap

2-3 cups of wheat flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

2 tbsp oil

Warm water

dough ( not very soft).
