Chicken tikka masala is one of the most popular non-veg dish. You can find this yummy dish in every Indian restaurant. Grilled chicken cooked in thick creamy gravy and a combination of spices makes it very delicious. Chicken tikka masala goes very well with jeera rice, parata or garlic naan.
Amla has a lots of health benefits. Amla is a seasonal fruit similar to mango and others and generally available in winter season. The fresh Amla is easily available in India however couldn’t find the same in US. I used the frozen Amla available in Indian grocery stores for this pickle however if you can get fresh it would be more delicious. This pickle is not as cumbersome as other like mango or chilies. Amla pickle can be stored for 3-4 months in refrigerator.
Litti (also called as bhouri in eastern India) & chokha is very popular and traditional dish from Bihar and Jharkhand. Traditionally litti is made on heat from coal or goyetha. Traditional food always give satisfaction to our taste buds. Litti is made with wheat flour and a filling prepared using sattu and some spices. This is very tasty and healthy dish. It can be made either by Frying or baking. It goes very well with baigan bhartha or potato and tomato chokha or simply with curd.
Mango pickle is a common supplement for Indian meals. It’s tangy taste adds flavor to food. Recently I visited India and learnt from my Mom how to make this. I am sharing her recipe. There are variety of mangoes available however the best pickle is made out of “Sukul” mango.
