Fab Feb Chicken

Today I will be sharing the Fab feb chicken, a recipe I have developed with love for the love of my life, dedicated to this special month of love “February”. Though we decided to marry in January, our families decided the same in February on a very special day. It was 5^th February and voila it’s was my husband’s birthday. So it was prepared as a Sunday treat for him. Coming to the recipe, the taste is unique and spicy. I have tried to fuse in the Indian masalas and the Chinese tadka in this dish. I am sure you would love it.

Fry it and then add onions, spring onions and salt. Saute it well on high heat for 4 minutes. Meanwhile take a small bowl and mix in all the sauces. After the onions are well sautéed add the pre-cooked chicken and sauce mix. Stir it well and add ¼ cup of water. You may add more water if you like. Cook on high heat for 3-4 minutes. Then sprinkle garam masala and chaat masla. At last check for the salt and spice level and we are ready to go.

Chicken Fab feb tastes best with pulao or paranthas.

Note: 

If you don’t have chicken masala you can replace it with 1 ½ tbs coriander powder and ½ tbsp. of cumin powder and ½ tsp of garam masala powder.

*If you are not very fond of spicy food then do reduce the amount of pepper powder and chili powder used.
