Coconut Chicken

A spicy chicken preparation always makes our dinner perfect, that too in chilled cold weather. While making the dinner I always wanted to give him a new essence so that he feels good. Because dinner is the only meal which he eats properly. Breakfast time he is so busy so most of the days he takes only one piece of toast, and in lunch almost every day busy with meetings. That’s why I want him to have the dinner properly.

I already tried many chicken dishes and looking for something new. I had half coconut in fridge and I wanted to finish it so tried to make something with coconut .And prepared this yummy COCONUT CHICKEN. The recipe is really easy, but believe me this one is really too good with the smell of coconut.

Anaros er Chutney or Pineapple Chutney

Pineapple is a juicy and tasty fruit which is one of my favorite fruits. The outside texture of pineapple is really too good. But it’s really a difficult task to cut them in proper way. Pineapple is a tropical fruit, can use as juice, cooking and raw. Raw pineapple tastes really awesome what I love about the fruit is the smell.

Last week I purchased one Pineapple from market, and almost half of the fruit we finished on that day itself. But after that I didn’t want to have it raw so I planned to do something with them. Instead of having the raw pineapple you can make some delicious PINEAPPLE CHUTNEY which is really an awesome dish. I prepared some PINEAPPLE CHUTNEY two days back with the help of one of my dear friend Chitrangada Kundu. Me and my husband relish the chutney very much hope all pineapple lovers gonna try this one very soon.

Cooking time: 30 mints.

Ingredients:

1.One small half pineapple.

2.Few raisins.

3.Few fennel seeds.

4.One dry red chili.

5.One tea spoon lemon juice.

6.A pinch of salt.

7.Four table spoon sugar (as per taste).

8.Sunflower oil.

Process:

Finely sliced the pineapple pieces, and soak them in to some salt water for 10 mints.
