Being in Paris and having to cook my own lunch to carry to the office is more fun than it may sound..
The amazing well equipped kitchen at my service appt is just something I have always dreamed of having....
And everytime I stop by the grocery store for some fresh ingredients I just can't stop myself from starting right away at making whatever my mind is dreaming of..experimenting a little and applying my own knowledge to it I end up making something that I relish :)
Here is one such quick fix recipe which I made for my lunch box:
Chicken Rolls made with salted Pancakes and boneless chicken
I had chicken leg pieces so I had to debone them after cooking :P
For the chicken filling :
Marinate the chicken for 1/2 an hour with :
1tbsp - yougurt
1tsp - salt
1/2 tsp - chilli flakes
1/4 tsp - pepper
1 1/2 tsp - chopped garlic
microwave the chicken for 10 mins
chop 2 cloves of garlic and slice 1/2 an onion
heat a pan and add 1 tsp of butter in it. Add a 1 tbsp of oil to the butter to avoid it from burning.
Add the chopped garlic and the onions to the pan. After the onions turn tanslucent add the chicken pieces and a little salt and 1 cup milk to it add a little bit about 1/2 cup of water and let it reduce on a slow flame turning the chicken in between.
After the milk and water has reduced completely take out the chicken in a dish and let it cool.
Adding milk helps the chicken to remain soft and also adds creaminess to it.
Cut the chicken into small pieces.
For the pancakes take:
2 1/2 tbsp - maida
1 - egg
1 tsp - salt
1/2 cup - milk
little bit of water to make the batter into the right consistency. Beat the above mixture till smooth and fluffy.
Heat the oil in a pan and spread the batter to make thin pancakes. Cook evenly on both sides.
After the pancakes are ready put the filling in and roll them up like frankies
Cut them into appropriate sizes of your choice to fit the lunch boxes.
And voila! :)
Hope you enjoy this recipe :)
P.S. You can alter the amount of seasoning according to your taste. If you do not have maida you can use atta and basan like I did for the pancakes or crepes whatever you may like to call them :P
